The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is a Roman Catholic Church in Plavecký Štvrtok from the first half of the 14th century, and reconstructed in the 17th and the 19th century. In the church park there are three limestone statues created in different time periods.
The church was built in the 14th century. It is mentioned in a document at the donation of the village in 1333.[1] It was built in Gothic style. It was vaulted in the 17th century, the roof was also repaired. Only the front side remained in Gothic style. Another reconstruction was done in 1922 along with installing new bells.
