The Church of Our Lady of Sorrows is a Romanesque Revival church located in Mutná. The building features seven hand-carved wooden beams spanning roughly 15 meters and a distinctive ring of gneiss stones forming its foundation.
The church was founded on 24 March 1360 by Charles IV and underwent construction between 1360 and 1375 during the medieval period. This founding under royal patronage established its role as a key religious structure in the medieval Czech lands.
The church houses Baroque paintings of the Virgin Mary from the Prague Archdiocese and a lime wood Madonna sculpture originally from another church in Nýrsko. These works reflect the artistic and spiritual devotion that has been maintained across centuries within this sacred space.
The church is accessible through local transportation and can be visited during designated hours. Guests should be prepared to explore the architectural details and religious objects on site while respecting the customs of a sacred space.
A granite fountain from 1846 stands in front of the building and holds cultural and historical importance. This fountain has withstood multiple theft attempts, making it a testament to the resilience of the place.
