Church of Saint Florian, Catholic church in Nemochovice, Czech Republic.
The Church of Saint Florian stands in the middle of the village green in Nemochovice, surrounded by greenery. It is a Roman Catholic church built in 1877, when a stone chapel from 1822 that had become too small was rebuilt into the present church. A marble cross, also a protected monument, stands before the entrance; it was restored in 2013.
A wooden chapel stood on this site and was rebuilt in stone in 1822. In 1877 the chapel, by then too small, was rebuilt into the present church. In 2014 the roof and all plasterwork were replaced, and the church was solemnly reconsecrated on 14 September 2014.
The church is a filial church of the Chvalkovice u Bučovic parish, so regular services are held elsewhere and the building is tied to that parish. Its dedication to Saint Florian, patron of firefighters, is a link visitors can note in the name of the church on the village square.
Access is through the main entrance and visitors should check opening hours and service times in advance. It is respectful to dress modestly and maintain quiet inside, as this is an active place of worship where people gather to pray.
The wooden pulpit inside was restored in 2016, and the marble cross standing before the entrance, itself a protected monument, was renewed in 2013. The church stands in the middle of the village green, surrounded by greenery.
