Among the "other" sites in Bratislava is the Blue Church, an art nouveau structure in an art nouveau neighborhood. So the guidebooks and articles said. We had to see it, and after our dinner respite trudged across old town, knowing our bus return to Vienna was only an hour+ away. But we made it, saw the little church, and even made it back to the bus station with some time to spare.
The architect was Odon Lechner, and the style is termed Hungarian Secessionist. Built 1908-1913. Certainly not flamboyant art nouveau, but then no churches are. We got to the Blue Church just as a service was getting underway, so there are just a few pix.

Later, returning to the bus station: the ceiling of the Bratislava
post office--we had to buy a stamp for a post card to Penelope! |
