Church of Saint Giles

Church of Saint Giles, Empire-style church in Bohuňov, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Giles is a Roman Catholic parish church built in 1820–1821 in the Empire style. The presbytery holds the main altar, probably from the 19th century, turned to the north, with a painting of Saint Giles and two statues of saints; the sacristy lies behind it. A stone cross and a statue of the Virgin Mary stand before the entrance, reached by steps but also step-free.

The building was constructed between 1820 and 1821 in the Empire style and replaced an earlier stone church from the 14th century. The previous church had contained two bells in its tower and had served the community for several centuries before this structure was built.

The church is the parish church of Bohuňov, dedicated to Saint Giles. The main altar, probably from the 19th century, faces north and holds a painting of Saint Giles flanked by two statues of saints; the sacristy lies behind it. Side altars from 1889 and the pulpit were removed at the end of the 20th century.

The building is easily accessible to visitors, with a ramp located beside the main entrance to ensure barrier-free access. The space remains actively used and regularly hosts religious services for the local community.

The organ in the choir loft underwent a costly restoration in 2015. The side altars from 1889 and the pulpit were removed from the church at the end of the 20th century, so the organ is now among the oldest surviving furnishings. The main altar, probably from the 19th century, faces north and holds a painting of Saint Giles flanked by two statues of saints.
