Church of the Assumption, Baroque church building in Žatec, Czech Republic
The Church of the Assumption displays a polygonal presbytery with Gothic rib-supported vaulting techniques and Baroque stucco decorations throughout the interior spaces.
The construction started in 1351 under Matthias of Arras direction, following Charles IV's vision to establish Prague as a major European religious center.
The church interior contains altar paintings by regional artists and includes Holy Steps modeled after religious structures found in Rome.
The Ministry of Culture provides multiple funding programs for restoration and maintenance activities to preserve the architectural elements of this monument.
The building features an octagonal layout that mirrors the architectural design of the imperial palace located in Aachen, Germany.
