Turany: Discover Hotels and Cultural Monuments

The Turany–Černík educational trail is accessible year-round and is an easy, self-guided circular route for pedestrians, focusing on natural history and local history. It begins in Turany either at the railway station or in the square in front of the town hall, where the first information boards are located. The educational trail lies at the foot of Malá Fatra National Park. In places, springs, wells and other types of wetlands emerge on the alluvial fan.

Culture and History

The Roman Catholic Church of St Gall (Kostol sv. Gála), together with its bell tower, church cemetery and surrounding wall, is listed as a national cultural monument. It was built in 1300 or 1304 on the remains of a Gothic chapel dating from around 1157. The church houses a rare Gothic altar of Saint Catherine, which was allegedly brought from Spišská Kapitula.

The present-day Evangelical church building in Turany was built in 1933 on the site of a toleration church erected in 1786. The Evangelical church was consecrated on 6 May 1934. In the centre of Turany stands a monument with a bust of Miloš Alexander Bazovský. Another monument in the square in Turany commemorates the victims of the Second World War.
