Reconstruction furrows deepened along the building and its vicinity were documented during a short rescue exploration at the Church of the Nativity of Virgin Mary in Veľké Chyndice. New information on the used construction technology and development of the object, consisting of the remains of Roman nave and apsis (13th century), Baroque nave (18th century) and pre-built tower (20th century), was acquired. It was shown that the foundations of the Roman building were built in bricks. Shallow foundations may have been fixed by the stone-brick sustaining wall only as late as in Modern Times. There was partial uncovering of a short section of stone-brick foundation wall, remains of the medieval sacristy renovated in Baroque, which made it possible to reconstruct its ground plan. A slightly misaligned sacristy, connected in the east to the apsis and in the west to the Church´s Roman nave, had inner dimensions of 3.33 x 2.62 m. It was found out that the pillars supporting the present nave of the church at the southern and northern side were not built during the Baroque reconstruction, as it has been assumed so far, but they originated later, perhaps at the end of the 19th or the beginning of the 20th century. The crypt attached to the northern wall of the church´s Baroque nave, probably in the 19th century, was partially explored. It was shown that the terrain at the southern side of the Roman building was lowered during the Baroque reconstruction (1735–1750) at the latest, which put a part of the Roman foundation wall above the level of the present terrain.
