Church of the Annunciation, Neoclassical church in Šternberk, Czech Republic.

The Church of the Annunciation features paintings by Josef Winterhalder and Leopold Kupelwieser, along with ceiling artwork by Johann Christoph Handke depicting Šternberk history.

Originally established in 1371 with an Augustinian monastery, the current church structure was built between 1775 and 1783 following two devastating fires.

The adjacent Handke Gallery displays works of regional Baroque painter Jan Krystof Handke and serves as a venue for contemporary art exhibitions and concerts.

The church maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural elements and artistic collections throughout the week.

After Emperor Josef II's dissolution of monasteries in 1784, the church wing remained with the Roman Catholic Church while other sections transferred to city ownership.
