The Holy Saviour Church ({{langx|sk|Kostol Najsvätejšieho Spasiteľa}}, also called Jezuitský kostol,m or the Jesuit Church, is a church building constructed in the 17th century on Františkánske nám in the Old Town of Bratislava, Slovakia.{{cite web|title=Kostol Najsvätejšieho Spasiteľa (jezuitský)|url=http://www.bratislavskenoviny.sk/buxus/generate_page.php?page_id=114921|publisher=Bratislavské Noviny|accessdate=24 April 2012}} It was originally built to serve as a protestant house of worship. Today the church belongs to the Society of Jesus, known as the Jesuit Order.

Location

It is located immediately north of Bratislava's Old Town Hall, at the edge of the city's principal square, Hlavné námestie.

History

The church was built from 1636 to 1638 as a place of worship for the city's growing community of German protestants. By royal decree the church could not resemble a Roman-Catholic house of worship in any way; so it was built without a spire and with nothing at its entrance or on its facade to suggest the building's function.
