Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary
Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, Gothic church in Most, Czech Republic
The late Gothic Church of the Assumption features a three-nave hall structure with internal buttresses and high windows with stained glass decorations.
Construction began in 1517 under architect Jakob Heilmann after a fire destroyed the previous basilica, with work continuing until the early 17th century.
Religious artworks inside include Renaissance reliefs depicting biblical scenes and large organ decorations with sculptures of Christ and the Apostles from 1730s.
The church opens Wednesday through Sunday from April to October, 9:00 to 16:00, and Tuesday through Sunday from May to September, 9:00 to 18:00.
In 1975, the entire church building weighing 12,000 tons was moved 841 meters on rails to preserve it from coal mining demolition.
