Finally, one of the best-known medieval woodcarvers Master Paul of Levoča settled here.
A list of some of his works includes an altar of St. Barbara in Banská Bystrica from 1509, an altar of St. George in Spišská Sobota (today a part of Poprad) from 1516, and his most famous work, completed in 1517, an altar in the St. James church in Levoča.

He probably started working in Kraków (from the connections of this city with Levoča at that time and from similarity of styles he could be a student of Veit Stoss), Sabinov, Banská Bystrica until he settled in Levoča around 1500 and married a daughter of an influential citizen.
