Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Vojslavice, Parish and pilgrimage church in Vojslavice, Czech Republic
The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Vojslavice is a stone building with white walls and a small bell tower that anchors the village center. Its simple rectangular layout includes a choir area at the rear and a small sacristy, with a roof covered in red tiles.
A Gothic church stood here and was rebuilt in 1670, then burned down in 1680. The present church was rebuilt in the first half of the 18th century; plans by Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel were not carried out. It was consecrated on 26 September 1723 by Jeroným Hlína, abbot of the Premonstratensian monastery in Želiv.
The church is a parish and pilgrimage church, and its name refers to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The main altar painting of the Assumption was made by Josef Stamic (1719–1791). In a glazed Rococo cabinet with a silver relief of the Healing of the Sick stands a statuette of the Madonna and Child holding a globe, donated to the church by Želiv abbot Daniel Schindler; it is a copy of the Madonna of Foy.
