Church of Saint Apollonia in Svatá Apolena, Baroque church ruin in Přimda, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Apollonia features stone walls and architectural elements characteristic of 17th-century religious buildings in the Czech countryside.

Construction began in 1669 after a blind blacksmith named Bartholomäus Fickh reported regaining his sight at the location of an old chapel.

The church evolved into a significant pilgrimage destination where visitors sought healing through a spring that emerged near the original chapel site.

The structure, located 1.5 kilometers southwest of Málkov, undergoes restoration work as part of Czech cultural heritage preservation efforts.

A book of memorabilia once documented the considerable wealth accumulated from pilgrimages, though this historical record has been lost over time.
