The Most Holy Trinity Church in Tvrdošín, in the Orava region of Slovakia, is a Roman Catholic structure that blends Renaissance and Gothic elements with later baroque additions. A wooden predecessor erected in the first half of the 17th century—which burned multiple times—left behind a tower from 1628, a middle choir, an oratory, and a sanctuary that were incorporated into the current walled church. Construction of the masonry building began on 24 May 1766 and was completed by its consecration on 2 June 1770. The church survived World War II damage to its eastern roof and baroque altar, which was restored after 1945 by academic artist Ctibor Belan in collaboration with master craftsman Jan Rakyta. The interior features a monumental late-baroque altar, an 18th-century Marian column, a late-18th-century sculpture of Saint John of Nepomuk, and a folk sculpture of Saint Florian from the same period.
