Church of Saint George, Gothic church building in Luková, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint George is a stone building with a tall spire designed in the Gothic style typical of the region. The structure features pointed arch windows and intricate stonework characteristic of traditional Czech church architecture.

The church was built in 1352, when a parish priest in Luková is first documented. A fire destroyed the Baroque building in 1796 or 1797, sparing only the presbytery vault and sacristy; it was rebuilt from 1800 in Neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque style and last renovated in 1858. After the German population was expelled after 1945, the church decayed; the roof collapsed in 1968 and Masses ceased.

Since 2012 the interior has held 32 plaster figures made by design student Jakub Hadrava, cast from his fellow students and meant to recall the German inhabitants of Luková until 1945. Visitors call it the Church of Lost Souls, and donations from them paid for the new roof and ceiling.

The church is open for viewing the sculpture exhibition on Saturdays from April to October, 1 to 4 pm. Outside these hours only the exterior, with its tower and apse, can be seen. Interior repairs continued in 2026, so access may be limited.

The 32 plaster figures installed in 2012 were cast by design student Jakub Hadrava from his fellow students and are seated and standing in the pews. They are meant to recall the German inhabitants of Luková who left by 1945, and the installation is known as "Má mysl" (My Mind).
