Leštiny (Hungarian Lestin - until 1882 Lestinye ) is a municipality in northern Slovakia . It is located between the Oravská Magura mountains in the north and Chočské vrchy in the south, on the banks of the Leštinský stream . It is seven kilometers from Dolný Kubín and 17 kilometers from Ružomberok .
It was first mentioned in writing in 1325. The Protestant wooden church (so-called articulate church ) from 1688, which was painted between the end of the 17th century and 1775, is worth seeing . The altar and the pulpit are from the beginning of the 18th century. In 2008 it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List .
