Church of the Engagement of the Virgin Mary

The Church of the Engagement of the Virgin Mary is a Romanesque church in Mackovice featuring a Neo-Romanesque tower built in the 1870s. This tower replaced the original structure damaged by lightning.

The building originates from the 12th century and underwent significant renovation in the 14th century to incorporate Romanesque-Gothic elements. These changes shaped its appearance through the centuries.

The interior holds an altar painting showing the Virgin Mary and three historical bells cast during the late 1800s. These artworks remain central to the visual character of the church.

The church is located in South Moravia and is administered by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brno. Visitors should check if services are scheduled before arriving, as it remains an active parish church for the community.

The building received cultural monument status in 2015 and is registered in the Czech Monument Catalogue with a specific identification number. This recognition highlights its architectural importance within the region.
