Church of the Visitation of Our Lady, Baroque church in Město Albrechtice, Czech Republic.
The Church of the Visitation of Our Lady is a religious building in Město Albrechtice featuring late Baroque architectural details that dominate the town square. Its interior holds religious artworks and 18th-century altars typical of the Baroque period.
The present structure was built between 1747 and 1752, replacing an earlier church from 1610 destroyed by fire in 1746. The reconstruction following this disaster led to the creation of the current Baroque building.
The church is dedicated to the Visitation of Our Lady and serves as the parish church of Město Albrechtice. Its bells carry the names of saints: the 1925 set from Rudolf Perner's South Bohemian workshop includes St. Michael (1100 kg, 118 cm diameter), Mary (500 kg) and Jesus (300 kg). These bells are themselves protected as monuments.
The location on the town square makes the church easy to find and visible from the surrounding streets. Visitors interested in guided tours or detailed information about access should contact the local parish office.

Earlier bells consecrated in 1909 were seized during World War I. The bells are protected as monuments.
