Saint Florian church, Baroque chapel in Moravský Krumlov, Czech Republic

Saint Florian church sits on a hilltop overlooking Moravský Krumlov and displays characteristic baroque features with ornate decorations on its facade and interior spaces. The building was constructed in the late 1600s and retains its original architectural character.

After a fire destroyed much of Moravský Krumlov on 25 April 1690, the town chose St. Florian as patron and built this chapel between 1695 and 1697; it was consecrated on 30 June 1697. French troops plundered it in 1809, and after restoration it was reconsecrated on 4 May 1834. Repairs followed in 1968–1969 and 1997–1998.

The church serves as a gathering place for locals and pilgrims who come to pray and participate in religious services. Its name honors Saint Florian, venerated in Catholic tradition as a protector against fire.

You can view the building from the outside and enjoy views over the town from its hilltop location. Plan your visit around worship service times or ask locally about special opening hours for visitors.

In one of the corner towers, documents and papers are kept for future generations. The chapel also holds a bell given by the town of Kromau: the storm bell from the town hall, donated after the 1834 reconsecration.
