Description
The ruins of an old stone church in the slope above the village are surrounded by a cemetery. It is perhaps the most romantic monument of Zázrivá. The church was built in the 18th century and its patrons were All Saints. However, at the beginning of the 20th century, two citizens of Zázrivá burned it deliberately per order of a local entrepreneur and the church gradually became a ruin.
Nowadays, the church is partially reconstructed - there is a symbolic altar, benches for sitting, and a gallery of pictures depicting the past and present appearance of the monument. From this place, there is also an impressivel view of the peaks of Little Fatra.
