Church of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary

Local name: Kostel Zvěstování Panny Marie

The Church of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary is a Gothic building with a high turret on the bell. It consists of a central nave and a presbytery closed on three sides. Inside, you can see neo-Gothic wall paintings depicting scenes from the Holy Bible.

The church was built in the mid-fourteenth century, but got its final shape after reconstruction caused by a fire in 1507. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was restored under the direction of Bóži Dvořák, who designed, among others, the neo-Gothic high altar and wall paintings.

It is a one-nave building with an elongated body. It is covered with a gothic rib rib vault. The presbytery is separated from the nave by a sharp arch. The gables of the church are decorated with stairs, and the walls are supported by massive slopes. A small sacristy adjoins the presbytery.
