User:Rslocik/Reformed Church (Lucenec)

The Calvinist church in Lučenec is a neo-Gothic church built on the plan of a Baroque church. The author of the project was Frantz Wieser, the construction was realized by Ján Wágner.

It is a one-nave building with a polygonal space and an added tower. The spaces are vaulted with a ribbed star and net vault with ribs reaching the extensions. Above the entrance is a brick choir resting on broken arcades. Externally there are supporting pillars. The outer part of the building is divided into various projections and turrets, windows with gothic arches. The tower was completed in the 1880s. On the spire of the 64 m high tower there is a revolving cockerel made of copper with a gilded crest. In its bowels are stored documents from the history of the church. The revolving cockerel showing the direction of the wind in Lučenec is a symbol of vigilance and watchfulness.
