Additional information
The present church from the 15th century replaced a once wooden structure. According to Ing. Kozák, it is built on the site of an ancient church and its power point is located at the interface between the central aisle and the presbytery. It probably remembers a much older apparition than the Kangaroo chapel. The Dean's church is connected to the Klockoti church by a straight line exactly in the west-east direction, which is of course also their longitudinal axis. This base line of the Tabor is also the side of an equilateral triangle, the third vertex of which, facing south, is the spring of St. Eleanor.
The power point of the church is not normally accessible to the public, but it is possible to enter the church and at least partially capture its energy. It is very pleasant and uplifting.
The tower hosts an exhibition for sale of old banknotes, old coins, old postcards, minerals and other interesting things. The exhibition is included in the price of the observation tower.
