Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Ústí nad Orlicí, Religious monument in Ústí nad Orlicí, Czech Republic.
The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is a late Baroque structure that rises prominently beside Mírové Square in Ústí nad Orlicí with a white facade and slender tower. The interior features classical Baroque furnishings with a high nave and a choir area that frames the sanctuary.
Construction took place between 1770 and 1776 during a period when the region was under the rule of the Liechtenstein family. The building followed a time of religious and political transformation that had reshaped the area over several decades.
The church serves as a spiritual center for the local Catholic community and shapes the appearance of the main square with its distinctive facade. It remains an active place where residents gather for services and religious observances.
The church is centrally located in town and easily reached on foot from the main square. Visitors should plan to visit during service times and maintain respectful behavior inside.
Next to the church stands a deanery building erected in the 1740s that predates the church itself. This adjoining structure represents an earlier phase of Baroque construction in the area.
