Marianka is the oldest pilgrimage place in Slovakia and the first "Marian" pilgrimage place in the entire Hungarian Kingdom.
It is the first pilgrimage site dedicated to Virgin Mary in the area of former Hungarian Kingdom. The first stone of the church was laid by King Louise the Great from Anjou/1342 -1382.There are seven alters in the church's nave, five of them are baroque from the years 1717 -1735: St Michael the Archangel, St. Joachim, St. Joseph, St. Paul the traveler, and St. Theresa from Avil. In the presbytery of the church there is a late Gothic alter from 1877. The communist regime between years 1948-1989 suppressed all religious activity and the village as a pilgrimage site was planned for demise, however the village survived.
Except of the Church, site offers many interesting places for visit, such as: Stations of the Cross, Rotunda Chapel, Chapel of St. Ann, Lourdes Cave...
