Church of Saint Bartholomew, Gothic church in Hodějice, Czech Republic
The Church of Saint Bartholomew is a Roman Catholic church built in 1882–1884, standing on raised ground in Hodějice beside the cemetery. It is a filial church of the Slavkov u Brna parish. A stone cross from 1903 stands next to the building, and the tower holds a bell named Saint Bartholomew, cast in 2008.
The church was built between 1882 and 1884 as a Roman Catholic filial church of the Slavkov u Brna parish. It was enlarged in the 1970s, and in 2002 the facade and roof were repaired. On 26 October 2012 the Brno bishop Vojtěch Cikrle consecrated it anew after new chancel furnishings by Milivoj Husák were installed.
The church is a filial church of the Slavkov u Brna parish, so regular services are held elsewhere and the building is used for occasional Masses. Its patron saint is Bartholomew, whose image hangs above the tabernacle. The bell in the tower, cast in 2008, is named after him.
Access to the church is available during regular worship services and special religious observances. Visitors should check in advance when services occur and whether celebrations are open to the public.
The church stands on raised ground beside the village cemetery, and a stone cross from 1903 stands next to it. In the tower hangs the bell of Saint Bartholomew, cast in 2008. The altar, ambo and tabernacle in the chancel were made by artist Milivoj Husák in 2012.
