Church of Saints John and Paul in Dobrš

Church of Saints John and Paul in Dobrš, Religious monument in Dobrš, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saints John and Paul stands on a hill about 200 metres east of the parish Church of the Annunciation in Dobrš. It is a Romanesque building from 1230–1240 with a prismatic west tower, a south Romanesque stepped portal, a presbytery and a hip roof covered with beaver-tail tiles. A 19th-century upper storey with pointed windows holds the large Maria bell of 1561.

The church dates from 1230–1240 and was built in Romanesque style, reportedly on the site of a former pagan sacrificial ground. In 1561 the builder Tomáš Rossi of Mendrisio re-vaulted the nave with a barrel vault with lunettes. In the 19th century an upper storey was added above the nave to house the large Maria bell of 1561 from the workshop of Prague bell-founder Brikcí of Cimperk.

The church is often called a chapel, and its two bells in the prismatic tower date from the 16th and 17th centuries. Inside is a carved scrollwork altar with statues of saints and two angels from around 1700.

The church is easy to locate within the village and is maintained by the Roman Catholic Diocese of České Budějovice. Visitors can view the exterior anytime, but should check local information for access to the interior.

The church stands about 200 metres east of the parish Church of the Annunciation; two churches so close together in one hamlet are unparalleled in South Bohemia. The upper storey added above the nave in the 19th century houses the large Maria bell of 1561 from the Prague workshop of Brikcí z Cimperka, measuring 137.7 cm in diameter and weighing about 1,600 kg.
