Church of the Assumption, Baroque church in Holešov, Czech Republic

The Church of the Assumption is a three-nave Baroque church with a medieval core, measuring 45.5 m long and 24.65 m wide, with a 51.2 m tower topped by a double onion dome. Its facade has a central risalit, volutes, and niches with statues of St. John of Nepomuk and St. John Sarkander. The sandstone portal bears the Rottal coat of arms, and the Black Chapel, added in 1748, adjoins the side nave.

A Gothic church with a parish and walled cemetery stood on Holešov's square by the 14th century. At the end of the 17th century, under the patronage of the Rottal family, a new church was begun to a design by Italian architect Filiberto Lucchese, keeping the west tower of rough masonry from the late 16th century. The shell was finished in 1708 and the church consecrated on 26 July 1735 by Olomouc bishop Count of Egkhu and Hungersbach. The Black Chapel was completed in 1748.

The Black Chapel, built in the 1740s for František Antonín of Rottal and his first wife Marie Cecilie of Trauttmannsdorf, holds the burial vault of the Rottal and Vrbný families. Its sculpture is by Gottfried Fritsch, and it was consecrated in 1748 by Bishop Troyer. In 1905 a columbarium was built in the crypt.

The church stands on the southeast edge of Dr. E. Beneš Square, near the main road junction, surrounded by tall lime trees. The main entrance is a sandstone portal with the Rottal coat of arms; the Black Chapel opens from the presbytery through a portal with double wrought-iron grilles. The nave is 45.5 m long and the tower 51.2 m high.

The burial chapel is called the Black Chapel (Černá kaple), built in the 1740s for the Rottal and Vrbn families; its sculpture is by Gottfried Fritsche. In 1905 a columbarium was built into the crypt beneath it for members of the family.
