Fara, Clergy house in Krsy, Czech Republic

Fara is a late-Baroque building on the village square in Krsy, with a rectangular plan and a sloped roof. It dates from the second half of the 18th century and was rebuilt in 1800–1801. It now houses the municipal office.

The house was built during the reforms of Joseph II in the second half of the 18th century, when new clergy houses were constructed to strengthen pastoral care in rural areas.

The building occupies the village center next to the Gothic church and shapes the look of the main square through its traditional architecture. Its position and form show how closely the church and clergy house were interwoven in the village structure.

The building is centrally located in the village near the church and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors can view the exterior architecture from the village square and understand how it fits into the village layout.

The former parish house, No. 1, has served as the seat of the Krsy municipal office; from the 1940s to the 1970s it held the offices of a state farm and then of the local national committee. The parish of Krsy itself was established in 1384.
