Church of Saint Bartholomew
Church of Saint Bartholomew, Fortified church in Kočí, Czech Republic.
Description
The Church of Saint Bartholomew is a church building with fortification elements that combines religious and defensive architecture. A covered wooden bridge links the main structure to a separate wooden bell tower.
