Church of Saint Mary Magdalene

The Roman Catholic Church of Saint Mary Magdalene stands near the Hot Spring with twin towers and a central dome defining its exterior appearance.

The current structure, completed in 1737 by architect Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer, replaced a former Gothic church that had stood at this location since the 14th century.

The church interior contains an 18th-century Baroque altar, Gothic Madonna statues, and religious sculptures that represent Czech religious artistry of different periods.

Visitors can access the church during religious services, while guided tours of the underground crypt operate from May through September with specific seasonal schedules.

The underground crypt features an altar constructed from mineral deposits and houses skeletal remains from the former cemetery that existed until 1784.
