Church of Saint James the Greater, Gothic church with Baroque elements in Hostivice, Czech Republic
The Church of Saint James the Greater features a steep tower and combines Gothic architectural elements with a prominent Baroque facade and three naves.
Built at the end of the 13th century, the church underwent significant reconstruction in 1689 after a fire caused by agents of Louis XIV destroyed its main structure.
The interior space contains multiple altars and the remarkable tomb of Vratislav of Mitrovice, featuring detailed sculptural work by Ferdinand Maxmilian Brokoff.
The church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors who wish to examine its architectural details and historical features throughout the week.
A preserved human hand hangs at the entrance, connected to a legend about a thief who attempted to steal a statue of the Virgin Mary.
