The Church of St. George, the most westerly situated wooden Gothic sacral building in Slovakia, is located in a suburb of Žilina – Trnové, on a small hill in the middle of a cemetery. It was probably designed and built along similar lines to a church located in Zábrežie in Orava Region.
The oldest preserved written report on the church of St. George dates back to 1583. It is a one-nave log building with a saddle roof. The short nave has a square layout and a tower, which was later added. At the top of the tower there are two precious bells donated by the mayor of Trnové Judex Mikuláš Trnovský. The larger one bears the inscription VERBVM DOMINI MANET IN AETERNVM ANNO 1604 NICOLAUS TRNOVSKY IUDEX F:C: (let the word of the Lord resound forever), the smaller bell the inscription VERBVM DOMINO IN MANET AETERNVM NICO ANNO 1606. TR. F.C.

Interior: The walls of the church, designed by an unknown architect and dating from the mid 17th century, are slatted and decorated with schematic white, red and grey ornaments. Almost all the existing furniture dates from the 18th century, some of which was transferred here in 1720, from the nearby village of Višňové.
According to the date on the window grilles, the church was renovated in 1776. The last major renovation took place in 1826. The interior of the church features a baroque altar with a sculpture of St. George, dating from the first third of the18th century. The altar’s polychrome woodcarving is completed at the top by an aureole with two angels. Part of the decoration is an oil painting on canvas featuring St. Anna and the Virgin Mary. Beside the altar there had previously been, a wooden statue of the Immaculata with the child in her arms. The church has been a national cultural monument since 1963 and until 1994, the Church of St. George was operational. In 2011-2012 the church was completely reconstructed.
