../R04/a31.jpg ../R04/a32.jpg The Anglican Church is a sample of an eclectic style of architecture. It was built in 1857-59 after the architect's J.D.Felsko project in the place of the former Paul bastion. The Church was supposed to be for English tradesmen, who previously held their services in Reformat Church. The Anglican Church is a sample of Gothic Revival (Neo-gothic) architecture, red bricks, ashlar ledges and supporting arches used for the building's decoration. Plastered timber vaulting covers the hall of the church. The asymmetric column divides the altar room. Timber panels are used for the interior.
