The Church of St. Elizabeth (Slovak: Kostol svätej Alžbety, Hungarian: Szent Erzsébet templom), commonly known as Blue Church (Modrý kostolík, Kék templom), is a Hungarian-Secessionist (Jugendstil, Art Nouveau) Catholic church located in the eastern part of the Old Town in Bratislava, present-day Slovakia. It is consecrated to Elisabeth of Hungary, daughter of Andrew II, who grew up in the Pressburg Castle (Pozsonyi vár). It is referred to as "The Little Blue Church" because of the colour of its façade, mosaics, majolicas and blue-glazed roof. It was initially part of the neighboring gymnázium (high school) and served as the school chapel.
The one-nave church was built in 1908-1913, four years after the plans of Ödön Lechner to build a church in the Hungarian Art Nouveau style. The so-called Hungarian secessionist style forms dominate in the church. Lechner also drew plans of the neighbouring gymnázium (high school) and of the vicarage (also in the Hungarian Secessionist style).
What a fun and cool looking church. Yes I know.. Not the conventional way of describing a church and that too one from Europe. But the blue theme makes it so - standout, cute, picture worthy. It is a small church, about 10-15 min out of the historic center but well worth the walk.

Opening times: Monday to Friday from 06.50 to 07.35 and 17.30 to 19.00 Sunday from 07.30 to 12.00 and 17.30 to 19.00 Free entrance. Very nice colorful church. Bratislava us small enough to walk here from any point in Bratislava. Art nouveau style.

It was built between 1909 and 1913. What makes it different and attractive is it’s color and this church looks really nice in blue color. It is not far from the old town, just 10-15 mins by walk.

It’s a must-see if you’re a fan of old churches, art nouveau architecture, or adorable things that look like they belong in a fairy tale. I walked 15 minutes out of the way on a very cold day to see this church but it was totally worth it because it’s so stinkin’ cute and completely unique.

Loved it here. It looks totally different from other churches in Europe. Definitely worthy going.

As the name suggests, a blue Church! It actually the Church of St. Elizabeth but commonly known as “The Little Blue Church" because of the colour of its façade, mosaics and blue-glazed roof. Built in 1913 it was the chapel of the nearby high school. Now a Catholic Church. Unusual so worth the walk to see. It was not open when we visited on a Saturday afternoon.

It is blue; I am not sure what else to say? it is a bit far from other tourist attractions so keep it in mind if you decide to visit it; it is pretty but out of the way.

A little, hidden and almost unknown (to the tourist) jem in the heart of Bratislava. A colourful (blue) little church like (I guess) not so many ones in world.

Amazing and really beautiful church, but when we got there was closed. It was Tuesday and 3 pm. Only the main door were opened and than you could see through the window the inside.

Amazing church, a must-see if you come to Bratislava. It is definitely worth the detour from the old town, to me this is the best thing to see in this town.

Couldnt go inside, was closed. But outaide seemed quite interrsting. Nothing too special, but worth to see once

The church is a bit hidden away from other tourist places in Bratislava so you will not really come across it by accident, but make sure you put it on your route as it is actually so gorgeous and the sky blue color is pretty unique compared to other buildings in the city.

Original blue church worth visiting. Not always open but just seeing it from outside is interesting.
Pierrick GrandJul 6, 2018
The only reason for 3 star rating is because the inside was closed as it is the national day here in Bratislava and it was closed as a result but other than that it is deffo worth the visit lol

Nice building. Totally different from other architecture. Worth seeing.
Aleš RegvatJun 16, 2018
The church is so unusual. I thought it's like a cake when i first saw it. We didn't get to see the inside though. It was closed when got there. Nonetheless it was nice seeing a church with such design and architecture... oops don't forget the color 😉

Beautiful small blue church...looks like a bubblegum! The location of the church is not amoing the other touristy places but it is surely worth a visit and immediateky catches the attention. It is really pretty from the outside and also serene inside. A must visit!

One of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen. A stunning piece of architecture from early XX century.
