Church of Saint John the Evangelist

Church of Saint John the Evangelist, Old Catholic church in Šumperk, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint John the Evangelist is a rectangular brick building with a white render, a polygonal apse to the north and a square tower on the south entrance front. The tower has a concave roof topped with a finial and cross, and the nave is covered by a gabled roof with bull's-eye dormers and bobrovka tiles.

The church was built in 1914 according to plans by Vienna architect Clemens Kattner for the Old Catholic community, whose members had been meeting since 1899. The foundation stone was laid and the first service held in September of the same year, just as World War I was beginning.

The Old Catholic parish was founded in Šumperk in 1899 after its members lost the use of Saint Barbara's church at the start of the 20th century. The church is also used as an alternative funeral hall, and the figural windows show Saint John the Evangelist, Jesus Christ and Saint Paul.

The church and its fara form an L-shaped complex enclosed by a stone-based wall with two brick gates and a cylindrical corner gazebo. The church entrance is on the south side, reached by several stone steps under a metal canopy. The tower was repaired in 2012.

The 2007 cultural monument designation covers not only the church but also the parish house and the historic fencing with its corner pavilion and two gates. The church also serves as an alternative funeral hall for the town.
