Moldava nad Bodvou

The small town of Moldava nad Bodvou (Hungarian: Szepsi) is located in the southeastern part of Slovakia, about 25 km southwest of Košice.

The town’s Roman-Catholic church was built during the 15^th century, in the Gothic style, on the site - according to sources - of a former 13^th century church. It acquired its current appearance as a result of the baroque reconstruction in the 18^th century. Its original protective wall is still standing.

The marble columns marking the 13 stations of the “Via Lucis” can be seen in the garden of the church; these were carved by master mason János Luckács, and painted by Ottó Szabó.
