Church of Saint Mary, wooden cemetery church in Broumov, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Mary is a wooden structure in Broumov, constructed from massive oak beams joined without nails and featuring timber-frame walls. The building sits within the cemetery and displays the traditional wooden joinery methods used in its construction.

First documented in 1383 as the "old parish church", the present building dates from the reconstruction after a fire in 1449, completed around 1450. Hussite troops under Čeněk z Vartemberka and Hynek Krušina z Lichtenburka sacked Broumov's suburbs in June 1421 and damaged the church. The bell turret was rebuilt in 1550 after wind toppled it, and again in 1811; in 2008 the church became a national cultural monument.

The name "Pod lipami" (Under the Lindens) refers to the trees that gave the church its popular name, and it is also called "U naší milé paní". Nine wooden boards in the open gallery record town events from 1542 to 1847, including fires, a plague, a flood and the 1779 Prussian raid; two more are kept in the town museum. The youngest board recalls the emigration of dozens of Broumov families to Chile in 1871–1874.

The church stands on the town cemetery, surrounded by an open gallery (soboty) on posts; the interior is not permanently staffed, so arrange access in advance through the Broumov information centre and confirm times before setting out. Renaissance and Empire tombstones are set into the gallery walls and the adjacent cemetery holds graves from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Nine wooden boards under the open gallery carry chronicle entries from 1542 to 1847, recording fires, a locust swarm, floods, plague and cholera; two more are kept in the town museum. The newest board recalls the emigration of dozens of Broumov families to Chile in 1871–1874.
