History

In 1930, Russian emigrants built the Orthodox Church in memory of the victims of the First World War. It was built by Russian architect Kratkov as an exact replica of the 14th-century church of Komarovsk near Moscow. In Soviet times, it was a warehouse and then a museum of atheism. The Orthodox community was established in 1921 after the Hungarian town of Ungvár was annexed from Hungary to Czechoslovakia.
