Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary
Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary, Gothic church in České Budějovice, Czech Republic
The Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary features a triple-nave basilica design with six pairs of substantial columns and decorated keystones.
Founded in 1265 during the establishment of České Budějovice, the church required several decades of construction before its completion around 1300.
The interior walls display medieval frescoes from the 14th century, including a 10-meter-tall painting of Saint Christopher, among the largest in Czech Republic.
Located on Piaristic Square, the church maintains its original Gothic structure with seven bays, a cross vault, and detailed rib profiles.
A stone frog sculpture beneath the roof connects to a local legend predicting the end of the world when it reaches the building's peak.
