The Slovak Republic is officially a secular state; however, by tradition, it is a religious country. The first Christian bishopric was established in the 9th century in Nitra. At present, several legal norms regulate the freedom of conscience and religion, and provide a guarantee for general respect of these fundamental human rights and freedoms. According to the Slovak Constitution, “Freedom of thought, conscience, creed and religion will be guaranteed. This right will include the right to change creed or religion.”

Religious Services

There are services available in foreign languages (mainly in English, German and Hungarian) all over the country (for more information, please, consult your church).
