Kostel svaté Kateřiny, Gothic church in Chomutov, Czech Republic
The Church of Saint Catherine is a Gothic structure with a polygonal presbytery and cross vaults decorated with plant motifs on keystones and column bases. The building now serves as an exhibition and concert space managed by the Regional Museum of Chomutov.
German Knights built this church in 1264 as part of their commandery, making it one of the earliest Gothic religious buildings in central Europe. This foundation by the military order influenced the site for centuries.
The building displays Renaissance frescoes and served as a burial place for the noble Lobkowicz family, reflecting its importance within local aristocratic networks. These connections shaped how people in the region understood the church's role and prestige.
The building is accessible through the Regional Museum and hosts regular exhibitions and cultural events. Visitors should check the museum's website for current opening times and scheduled activities.
The building faced demolition in the 1960s when it served as a storage facility before its fate changed. An extensive renovation from 1995 to 2000 rescued it and transformed it into a modern cultural space.
