Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is a wooden structure displaying Renaissance Revival architectural features in its design and proportions. The building shows typical elements of this style in its exterior composition.

The building arose as a religious structure during the period when Renaissance Revival style influenced Bohemian architecture. As a cultural monument under state protection, it represents architectural developments in Czech history.

The church functions as a gathering place where the local community marks religious holidays and spiritual occasions throughout the year. The wooden structure creates a warm, handcrafted interior typical of rural churches in this region.

Information about services and visits is available through the local tourism office or parish administration in the village. As a wooden structure, interior access may be affected by weather conditions, so it is worth checking ahead.

The wooden construction is notable since most churches of this era were built in stone, making this building stand out. This building method reflects local craftsmanship traditions that differ from the stone architecture of larger cities.
