Description

A view of the countryside in Trencin Co, Slovakia as it appears in 2009. Midway in the photo, the white steeple of the Lutheran Church rises above the pastoral scene in the small village of Adamovske Kochanovce. The original church building was erected in 1791, when the Austro-Hungarian Emperor finally permitted the construction of Lutheran churches (other than those which were built completely of wood, without even a single metal nail!). The congregation, however, was formed long before that: probably in the mid-1600's during the Counter-Reformation. This is the ancestral church of the family of Andrew and Katarina Duda, who emigrated to the US in 1909.
