One of the most unusual churches I have seen in a long time is St. Elisabeth, the Blue Church of Bratislava. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Blue Church of Bratislava was built in the early 1900s. Architect \u00d6d\u00f6n Lechner from Budapest designed the church in the style of the secession with oriental elements. Typical elements of the Hungarian art nouveau, such as curved shapes, dominate the building. The parish and neighbouring grammar school were built in the same way. Originally, the church was intended to serve only for the school but was later opened to the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
