Church of Mother of God

The Church of Mother of God is a Neo-Gothic building from the early 1900s that rises above the Ruprechtice district with stone walls and pointed arches typical of religious structures from that era. The structure features a main nave with side chapels and displays the characteristic vertical lines and ornamental details that define this architectural style.

Construction began in 1901 under architects Heinrich Fanta and Max Kühn, who incorporated Gothic Revival elements into the design. The project emerged during a period when communities across the region were updating and expanding their religious buildings.

The church has anchored the religious life of the Ruprechtice community for generations through regular worship and local gatherings. It remains a gathering place where locals observe their faith traditions and mark important moments in their lives.

The building is accessible on foot via several approach roads, and a bus stop nearby serves visitors who prefer public transportation. Regular services are held, offering opportunities for visitors to enter the church during its open times and explore the interior.

A natural spring near the site once provided water to pilgrims traveling to the nearby pilgrimage destination of Hejnice. This connection to the historic pilgrim route remains part of the local story associated with the location.
