Church of Holy Trinity, Church building in Jindřichův Hradec II, Jindřichův Hradec, Czech Republic
The Church of Holy Trinity is a church building in Jindřichův Hradec constructed between 1590 and 1594 that blends Renaissance and Gothic design features. It contains a single nave with a vaulted ceiling, buttresses adorning the exterior walls, a square tower added in 1852, and a small chapel built in 1597 with circular and pointed arch windows characteristic of late Gothic style.
Utraquists built the church between 1590 and 1594 on the town cemetery. A chapel was added to the five-sided presbytery in 1597. During the 17th century the church alternated between Catholics and Utraquists, and the tower was added in 1852. The cemetery was abolished in the 1960s and turned into a park; the tomb of the Landfras printing family remains there.
