The submitted article presents results of the archaeological and architectonic-historical investigation of the Church of St. Martin in Hontianska Vrbica, Levice district. The beginnings of the church had been dated to the 15th century. The archaeological investigation and architectonic-historical analysis of uncovered architecture moved the date of its origin to the late 12th – early 13th century. Remains of an extinct Romanesque church with a three-quarter-cylindrical apse and its younger early-Gothic addition in the south have been identified there. Thanks to the investigations, we have obtained new information on the structural development of the church in the high Gothic, late Gothic and Baroque periods. The contribution analyses 17 burials from the adjacent uncovered church cemetery and their finds. Special attention is paid to two Baroque tombs discovered inside the church. We obtained well preserved remains of Baroque male clothes of a so-far unknown local thane from one of the tombs.
