The Reformation reached Spiš early and thoroughly, and from 1563 to 1638 the church of the Holy Spirit was Lutheran. Its Catholic paintings stayed on the walls right through those seventy-five years: on Spiš the Protestants did not, on the whole, destroy older images the way it happened in parts of Europe — which is one reason so much medieval art survives in this region. The Sigray family, the village's lords, are still in the floor of their church: their Renaissance memorial slabs are set into it. In 1638 the church returned to Catholic hands, and the estate itself passed to the Csákys, the family that also owned the castle.Reformácia zasiahla Spiš skoro a dôkladne a v rokoch 1563 – 1638 bol Kostol Ducha Svätého evanjelický. Katolícke maľby ostali celých tých sedemdesiatpäť rokov na stenách: protestanti na Spiši staršie obrazy väčšinou neničili tak, ako sa to dialo inde v Európe — aj preto sa v tomto kraji zachovalo toľko stredovekého umenia. Sigrayovci, páni dediny, sú vo svojom kostole dodnes: ich renesančné epitafy sú osadené do podlahy. V roku 1638 sa kostol vrátil katolíkom a panstvo prešlo na Čákiovcov, rod, ktorému patril aj hrad.
