Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, Baroque church in Bernartice, Czech Republic

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is a rural Baroque church built in 1677–1678 in the centre of Bernartice. It has a single nave with a rectangular presbytery and a Chapel of St John of Nepomuk on the north side. The tower was radically reshaped in the second half of the 19th century.

A wooden church stood here from the 13th century, first documented in 1297 and used by Protestants in the 16th and early 17th centuries. In 1633 the Jesuits bought the Bernartice estate, demolished the old church and had a Baroque single-nave church built in 1677–1678. It was enlarged in high Baroque form in 1733, rebuilt in 1794–1795, and its tower radically altered in the second half of the 19th century.

The village church served the extinct parish of Bernartice u Trutnova until the end of 2005; since 1 January 2006 it has been a filial church of the Žacléř parish. The main Baroque column altar is the work of sculptor Jiří František Pacák, and a Rococo pulpit stands in the church. A stone baptismal font with ornamental reliefs from the 17th century survives, and the organ was built by the Rieger firm in 1902.

The church is now used only occasionally, so visits depend on those events rather than fixed opening hours. The whole protected area, including the access stairway and the enclosing wall with two gates, can be seen from outside at any time.

The church is now used only occasionally; after the Second World War the displacement of part of the German population reduced its use, and the more valuable furnishings were moved to depositories. The building is deteriorating.
