Church of Saint Martin, Baroque church in Luleč, Czech Republic.
The Church of Saint Martin is a baroque structure situated on a hilltop overlooking Luleč village, its white facade decorated with baroque ornamental details. The building displays characteristic curved forms and embellishments typical of its architectural period and style.
The original church was built in 1408, likely replacing earlier religious structures near a former fortified site. During the 17th century, the building underwent substantial architectural changes that gave it its present baroque appearance.
The Ministry of Culture recognizes this religious building as a protected cultural monument within the Czech national heritage preservation system.
The church is accessible via the main road through the village and sits on elevated ground requiring a brief walk to reach. Visitors should respect private property in the area and be aware that regular services may take priority over sightseeing visits.
The structure remains visible from numerous points across the surrounding countryside due to its elevated location rising above the settlement. This visibility likely reflected the original intention to establish a religious landmark that could serve as an orientation point for the community.
