Church of Saint Wenceslaus, Romanesque Revival church in Výsluní, Czech Republic.
The Church of Saint Wenceslaus is a religious building in Vysluní featuring Romanesque Revival elements from the mid-1800s in the Chomutov District. The structure displays typical architectural details of this style with characteristic stone walls and a design from that period.
This house of worship was built between 1851 and 1857, combining elements of Romanesque Revival style in its design. This construction period reflected the preference for medieval architecture and its modern interpretation across Central Europe.
The church is owned by the town of Výsluní and, since the renovation began, has again hosted weddings and cultural events such as concerts, theatre performances and exhibitions on log floating and the devastation of the borderlands. On 28 September 2021 the tradition of the Saint Wenceslaus pilgrimage was revived around the building.
The church is located in the village of Vysluní in the Chomutov District and can be reached on foot or by car. It is advisable to check beforehand when services or visits are possible, as opening times may vary.
The church, visible from afar and sometimes called the "cathedral of the Ore Mountains" for its size, was used as a film set: Vladimír Michálek shot Zapomenuté světlo here in 1996, Rammstein filmed the Feuer frei! video in 2002, and German crews shot Krev a zlato in 2022.
