Church of Saint Judoc in Český Krumlov

Church of Saint Judoc in Český Krumlov, Baroque church in Český Krumlov, Czech Republic

The former Church of Saint Judoc stands at Latrán 6, its five-axis north facade facing the street and its south terrace dropping toward the Vltava. The nave was divided into three floors after 1788, and a square tower with a baroque onion dome and lantern rises above the polovalbová roof.

A chapel with a hospital, probably founded by Petr I of Rožmberk before 1317 and first recorded that year, stood here; Petr Vok of Rožmberk had it demolished in 1596 and Domenico Cometta built the present church by 1604. Closed on 11 June 1788 under Joseph II's reforms, it was sold in 1790 for 1,245 guilders and converted into flats and shops.

The church was founded by Petr I of Rožmberk around 1317 as a votive for the birth of his son Jošt, whose name the church bears. In 1596 Petr Vok of Rožmberk had it rebuilt, and after 1599 it briefly served the Unity of the Brethren and then the Jesuits. Since the church closed in 1788 the building has housed shops, flats, a dance hall and a casino, and today a marionette museum.

The bell tower is clearly visible from outside and serves as a useful landmark when navigating the old town. The exterior of the structure can be viewed from the surrounding streets in any season, with the white facade appearing different depending on the time of day.

The tower stayed with the town after the church closed in 1788, reportedly so it could serve as a fire lookout and because it adorned the town's skyline. Its Baroque onion dome with lantern and terracotta maskarons survives from the 1765 rebuild, financed by Josef Adam of Schwarzenberg.
