Church of Saint Andrew, Religious monument in Blatnice pod Svatým Antonínkem, Czech Republic.
The Church of Saint Andrew is a religious building in Blatnice pod Svatým Antonínkem featuring a tower with Renaissance elements from the original 1480 structure. It was built between 1714 and 1717 and replaced an earlier church that had stood in the village.
A religious building first appeared on this site in 1480, and its Renaissance tower core was preserved when the current church was built in 1714 to 1717. This construction marked a major renewal of the village's spiritual center.
The church sits in the center of a wine-growing village where traditional vineyard huts called búdy surround the religious building and define the local landscape.
The building sits at the crossroads of roads I/54 and I/71, making it easy to locate when visiting the area. Its position in the village center helps visitors explore the local religious architecture and nearby vineyard structures.
The tower preserves Renaissance sections from the original 1480 church, which was otherwise entirely demolished. These surviving elements offer visitors a rare look at the older architectural style that once defined the village.
