Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, Baroque church in Valtice, Czech Republic.

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is an early Baroque single-nave church on a cross plan with a rectangular presbytery and two 60-metre towers. It measures 60 m long, 28 m wide and 34 m to the vault, making it the second-largest church in the Brno diocese after St James. Its design probably drew on Rome's Il Gesù.

A church existed here by 1227 and was burned by the Hussites in 1426. Prince Karl Eusebius of Liechtenstein began the present building in 1631 to designs attributed to Giovanni Giacomo Tencalla and Giovanni Battista Carlone. The dome collapsed on 23 October 1638; Andrea Erna took over in 1641, and after Swedish occupation and Turkish threat the church was consecrated in 1671, forty years after the cornerstone.

The church shapes the appearance of the town and serves as a gathering place for residents during religious celebrations. Many people visit to attend services or admire the interior decoration and furnishings.

You can reach the building on foot from different parts of town since it sits centrally and stands out visually. It is worth exploring the surroundings and enjoying views from different angles to notice all the architectural details.

The building combines Italian design approaches with local building styles, showing how different artistic traditions flowed together. This mixture makes it a notable example of cultural exchange that is visible through architecture.
