Cathedral of St. Elizabeth
The Cathedral of St. Elizabeth (Slovak: Dóm svätej Alžbety, pronounced [ˈdɔːm ˈsʋɛɐtej ˈalʐbeti]; Hungarian: Szent Erzsébet-székesegyház, German: Dom der heiligen Elisabeth), also called Saint Elizabeth Cathedral, is a Gothic cathedral in Košice. It is the largest church in Slovakia and one of the easternmost Gothic cathedrals in Europe.The record of the existence of Kassa (Slovak: Košice), dating from 1230, is connected with the existence of the rectory church. In the process of the settlement's transformation from a rural community into a town, all its periods of successes and failures have been reflected in Saint Elizabeth Cathedral. According to historical and archaeological sources, the present-day cathedral was built on the place of an earlier church also consecrated to Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. It was referred to in documents of 1283 and 1290, in which the bishop of Eger Andrew II exempted Košice parish from the dean's sphere of jurisdiction.
