Abstract

The study discusses the first appearance and manifestations of Christianity on the territory of Slovakia in the first half of the 9th century. It deals with the period of the reign of Prince Pribina and the penetration of Christianity into the territory of the historic Principality of Nitra. Prince Pribina was the first prince, under whose rule in 828 the first Christian church was built under the administration of the Archbishop of Salzburg. Furthermore, the study deals with historical events that surround the Pribina rule and life, the socio-political situation of the Principality of Nitra and its relation to Great Moravia and its context.  In the last part the study analyzes architectural elements of the early Christian buildings of this period.
