Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary

Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, Baroque church in Konojedy, Czech Republic

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is a baroque religious building in Konojedy with a prominent tower and decorated exterior surfaces. The structure features the upward-reaching lines and ornamental details typical of baroque architecture from this period.

A Gothic church on the site was rebuilt in 1699 by František Antonín Špork as a single-nave church with a tower, linked to a hospital. The present late-baroque church was begun in 1748 for the Servite monastery, roofed by 1750 and consecrated on 20 August 1752. Emperor Joseph II dissolved the monastery in 1786 and the church became parochial.

The church is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, but the 1739 foundation deed also names the Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order and altars to Our Lady of Sorrows, St Peregrine and St Juliana Falconieri. The eight altars follow Servite iconographic schemes, and the church is now closed and under repair.

The church stands on a raised rocky plateau at the edge of Konojedy, within the former Servite monastery complex, not a castle. It is closed and under repair: its statics were secured with steel tie rods after a wall threatened to collapse, and the remaining furnishings were removed by the church.

The church belongs to the former Servite monastery complex, not a castle; the convent building was later converted into a chateau by Jan František Kristián Swéerts-Sporck after the monastery was dissolved in 1786. In 1945 munitions exploded in a nearby quarry, collapsing the sacristy ceiling and blowing out windows with their frames.
