The Church of St. Elizabeth (Slovak: Kostol svätej Alžbety, Hungarian: Szent Erzsébet templom), commonly known as Blue Church (Modrý kostolík, Kék templom), is a Hungarian Secessionist (Jugendstil) Catholic church located in the eastern part of the Old Town in Bratislava, Slovakia. It is consecrated to Elisabeth of Hungary, daughter of Andrew II, who grew up in the Pressburg Castle (pozsonyi vár). It is called "Blue Church" because of the color of its façade, mosaics, majolicas and blue-glazed roof.
The one-nave church was built in 1907-1908, four years after the plans of Ödön Lechner to build a church in the Hungarian Art Nouveau style. The so-called Hungarian secessionist style forms dominate in the church. Lechner also drew plans of the neighboring gymnázium (high school) and of the vicarage.
The ground floor of the church is oval. In the foreground there is a 36.8 meter high cylindrical church tower. At first, a cupola was planned, but it was never constructed; instead, the barrel vault was built, topped by a hip roof. The roof is covered with glazed bricks with decoration, for the purpose of parting.
The main and side entrances are enclosed with Romanesque double-pillars, which have an Oriental feeling. Pillars are also located near the windows.
The façade was first painted with light pastel colors. Later the church got its characteristic blue color. A line of blue tiles and wave-strip encircles the church.
The interior is richly decorated with altarpieces. On the altar there is an illustration of St. Elisabeth, depicted giving alms to the poor.
A model of the church is in Mini-Europe in Brussels, representing Slovakia.
