Protestant Church

Hronsek

Viac info na:

Drevený artikulárny kostol v Hronseku je evanjelický kostol.

Protestantské cirkevné obrady sa v Hronseku vykonávali do roku 1726 v miestnom renesančnom kaštieli. Keď už vyhradené priestory pre obyvateľov širokého okolia nepostačovali, bolo rozhodnuté o výstavbe nového artikulárneho kostola. Hronsek bol vybraný ako spádová obec severnej časti Zvolenskej stolice. Pre južnú časť to bol podobný kostol v Ostrej Lúke.

V čase stavby artikulárnych chrámov habsburskí úradníci robili všetko pre to, aby ešte zmenšili trvácnosť protestantských cirkevných stavieb. Svojvoľným prekrúcaním šopronských artikúl ešte sprísňovali aj tak obmedzujúce sankcie. Pre stavbu v Hronseku bolo vybrané miesto, kde bolo hronovisko. Všade na okolí boli močiare a v bezprostrednej blízkosti rieka Hron. Stavba napriek tomu nebola nikdy zatopená. Jednou z ďalších požiadaviek bolo, aby všetci návštevníci mali miesto na sedenie.

Stavba kostola začala 23. októbra 1725 a na jeseň 1726 bola dokončená. Meno autora projektu nie je známe. Kostol je postavený v tvare kríža. Dlhšie rameno kríža má dĺžku 23 m, kratšie má 18 m, výška kostola je 8 m. Stavba je hrázdenej drevenej konštrukcie z masívneho - dubového a ihličnatého - smrekovcového dreva.

Unikátne je použitie klasickej spojovacej techniky hlavných nosných prvkov, ktoré sú spájané klasickými tesárskymi spojmi a drevenými kolíkmi. Vnútorná klenba kostola pripomína tvar prevrátenej lode. Nachádzajú sa tu neobvyklé prvky škandinávskej architektúry, ktorú charakterizujú stĺporadia na chóroch a pod chórmi, zdobené jónskym ornamentom a prístrešky pri vstupe, podľa čoho sa usudzuje, že na stavbe pracovali remeselníci z Nórska či Švédska. Jedinečné je aj amfiteatrálne usporiadanie lavíc na chóroch.

Oltár kostola má šesť vymeniteľných obrazov. Obrazy sú z roku 1771 od majstra Samuela Kialoviča. Nad oltárom sú anjeli držiaci erby šľachtických rodín z okolia, ktorí podporovali evanjelickú cirkev. Organ je dielom majstra Martina Podkonického z Banskej Bystrice. Patrí medzi vzácne barokové organy. Pochádza z roku 1764. Luster, pôvodne pozlátený, je dar richtára Martina Hudeca z Veľkej Lúky.

Celková kapacita kostola je 1 100 miest na sedenie. Do kostola vedie 5 vchodov. Po obvode kostola je 30 okien. Strecha je šindľová s tromi krížmi a kohútom - symbolom kresťanskej bdelosti.

V blízkosti kostola je zvonica s rovnakou architektúrou, ktorá bola postavená súčasne s kostolom 1726. Na nádvorí kostola sú tri staré lipy, ktoré boli vysadené pri vysviacke kostola.

7. júla 2008 na 32. zasadnutí Výboru UNESCO v kanadskom Quebecu bol kostol aj so zvonicou zapísaný do Zoznamu svetového dedičstva UNESCO.

Willemstad, Noord Brabant, The Netherlands by Drone 4K

Flying drone in Willemstad on the sunny day of the summer in the Netherlands. This historical city is one of our lists to visit and fly on it. We had an amazing day here!

FYI,
Willemstad is a city in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Moerdijk. Its population as of 2002 was 2,329.

Willemstad is a small historical town with well-preserved fortifications. It lies on the Hollands Diep, close to the Haringvliet and Volkerak. It received city rights in 1585. The Reformed Church was built in 1607 as the first new Protestant church building in the Netherlands.

Willemstad was a separate municipality until 1997 when it became part of Zevenbergen, which changed its name to Moerdijk in 1998.

SUMMARY
=======
Slovakia ( ( listen); Slovak: Slovensko [ˈslɔʋɛnskɔ] ( listen)), officially the Slovak Republic (Slovak: Slovenská republika, listen ), is a landlocked country in Central Europe. It is bordered by Poland to the north, Ukraine to the east, Hungary to the south, Austria to the west, and the Czech Republic to the northwest. Slovakia's territory spans about 49,000 square kilometres (19,000 sq mi) and is mostly mountainous. The population is over 5.4 million and consists mostly of Slovaks. The capital and largest city is Bratislava, second largest city is Košice. The official language is Slovak.
The Slavs arrived in the territory of present-day Slovakia in the 5th and 6th centuries. In the 7th century, they played a significant role in the creation of Samo's Empire and in the 9th century established the Principality of Nitra, which was later conquered by the Principality of Moravia to establish Great Moravia. In the 10th century, after the dissolution of Great Moravia, the territory was integrated into the Principality of Hungary, which would become the Kingdom of Hungary in 1000.. In 1241 and 1242, much of the territory was destroyed by the Mongols during their invasion of Central and Eastern Europe. The area was recovered largely thanks to Béla IV of Hungary who also settled Germans which became an important ethnic group in the area, especially in what are today parts of central and eastern Slovakia. After World War I and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Czechoslovak National Council established Czechoslovakia (1918–1939). A separate (First) Slovak Republic (1939–1945) existed during World War II as a totalitarian, clero-fascist one-party client state of Nazi Germany. At the end of World War II, Czechoslovakia was re-established as an independent country. A coup in 1948 ushered in a totalitarian one-party state under the Communist regime during whose rule the country existed as a satellite of the Soviet Union. Attempts for liberalization of communism in Czechoslovakia culminated in the Prague Spring, which was crushed by the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968. In 1989, the Velvet Revolution ended the Communist rule in Czechoslovakia peacefully. Slovakia became an independent state on 1 January 1993 after the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia, sometimes known as the Velvet Divorce.
Slovakia is a high-income advanced economy with a very high Human Development Index, a very high standard of living and performs favourably in measurements of civil liberties, press freedom, internet freedom, democratic governance and peacefulness. The country maintains a combination of market economy with a comprehensive social security system. Citizens of Slovakia are provided with universal health care, free education and one of the longest paid parental leave in the OECD. The country joined the European Union in 2004 and the Eurozone on 1 January 2009. Slovakia is also a member of the Schengen Area, NATO, the United Nations, the OECD, the WTO, CERN, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the Visegrád Group. Although regional income inequality is high, 90% of citizens own their homes. In 2018, Slovak citizens had visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 179 countries and territories, ranking the Slovak passport 10th in the world. Slovakia is the world's largest per-capita car producer with a total of 1,040,000 cars manufactured in the country in 2016 alone and the 7th largest car producer in the European Union. The car industry represents 43% of Slovakia's industrial output, and a quarter of its exports.

SUMMARY
=======
Slovakia ( ( listen); Slovak: Slovensko [ˈslɔʋɛnskɔ] ( listen)), officially the Slovak Republic (Slovak: Slovenská republika, listen ), is a landlocked country in Central Europe. It is bordered by Poland to the north, Ukraine to the east, Hungary to the south, Austria to the west, and the Czech Republic to the northwest. Slovakia's territory spans about 49,000 square kilometres (19,000 sq mi) and is mostly mountainous. The population is over 5.4 million and consists mostly of Slovaks. The capital and largest city is Bratislava, second largest city is Košice. The official language is Slovak.
The Slavs arrived in the territory of present-day Slovakia in the 5th and 6th centuries. In the 7th century, they played a significant role in the creation of Samo's Empire and in the 9th century established the Principality of Nitra, which was later conquered by the Principality of Moravia to establish Great Moravia. In the 10th century, after the dissolution of Great Moravia, the territory was integrated into the Principality of Hungary, which would become the Kingdom of Hungary in 1000.. In 1241 and 1242, much of the territory was destroyed by the Mongols during their invasion of Central and Eastern Europe. The area was recovered largely thanks to Béla IV of Hungary who also settled Germans which became an important ethnic group in the area, especially in what are today parts of central and eastern Slovakia. After World War I and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Czechoslovak National Council established Czechoslovakia (1918–1939). A separate (First) Slovak Republic (1939–1945) existed during World War II as a totalitarian, clero-fascist one-party client state of Nazi Germany. At the end of World War II, Czechoslovakia was re-established as an independent country. A coup in 1948 ushered in a totalitarian one-party state under the Communist regime during whose rule the country existed as a satellite of the Soviet Union. Attempts for liberalization of communism in Czechoslovakia culminated in the Prague Spring, which was crushed by the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968. In 1989, the Velvet Revolution ended the Communist rule in Czechoslovakia peacefully. Slovakia became an independent state on 1 January 1993 after the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia, sometimes known as the Velvet Divorce.
Slovakia is a high-income advanced economy with a very high Human Development Index, a very high standard of living and performs favourably in measurements of civil liberties, press freedom, internet freedom, democratic governance and peacefulness. The country maintains a combination of market economy with a comprehensive social security system. Citizens of Slovakia are provided with universal health care, free education and one of the longest paid parental leave in the OECD. The country joined the European Union in 2004 and the Eurozone on 1 January 2009. Slovakia is also a member of the Schengen Area, NATO, the United Nations, the OECD, the WTO, CERN, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the Visegrád Group. Although regional income inequality is high, 90% of citizens own their homes. In 2018, Slovak citizens had visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 179 countries and territories, ranking the Slovak passport 10th in the world. Slovakia is the world's largest per-capita car producer with a total of 1,040,000 cars manufactured in the country in 2016 alone and the 7th largest car producer in the European Union. The car industry represents 43% of Slovakia's industrial output, and a quarter of its exports.

SUMMARY
=======
Austria-Hungary, often referred to as the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the Dual Monarchy in English-language sources, was a constitutional union of the Austrian Empire (the Kingdoms and Lands Represented in the Imperial Council, or Cisleithania) and the Kingdom of Hungary (Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen or Transleithania) that existed from 1867 to 1918, when it self-dissolved at the end of World War I. The union was a result of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 and came into existence on 30 March 1867. Austria-Hungary consisted of two monarchies (Austria and Hungary), and one autonomous region: the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia under the Hungarian crown, which negotiated the Croatian–Hungarian Settlement (Nagodba) in 1868. It was ruled by the House of Habsburg, and constituted the last phase in the constitutional evolution of the Habsburg Monarchy. Following the 1867 reforms, the Austrian and the Hungarian states were co-equal. Foreign affairs and the military came under joint oversight, but all other governmental faculties were divided between respective states.
Austria-Hungary was a multinational state and one of the Europe's major powers at the time. Austria-Hungary was geographically the second-largest country in Europe after the Russian Empire, at 621,538 km2 (239,977 sq mi), and the third-most populous (after Russia and the German Empire). The E ...

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
