Church of Saint George, Church building in Libušín, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint George is an early Gothic church with a rectangular nave and a slightly narrower polygonal presbytery of the same height, both under a saddle roof of ceramic tiles. A Baroque volute gable with a stone cross tops the west facade, where a rectangular stone portal and an oval window sit. A wooden bell tower on an octagonal stone base stands in the cemetery.

A Romanesque church stood within the Libušín hillfort built in the second half of the 10th century; a Romanesque portal found during excavations around 1900 shows a church existed by the 13th century. It is first mentioned in the papal tithe register of 1352 as a parish church, with parish priests recorded from 1340 until the Hussite wars. The parish was abolished in 1908, and the building was altered in 1711, 1883, 1906, 1951 and 1992.

The church is a pilgrimage and cemetery church; the parish was abolished in 1908 when the more accessible Church of Saint Procopius was built in the centre of Libušín. The cemetery holds the graves of artists Karel Nepraš and Naděžda Plíšková, and the sandstone tombstone of Jiří Smékal, dated 1644, records in Czech that he was shot with a pistol.

The church stands on the Libušín hillfort above the village, not in its centre; the cemetery gate with a stone cross faces the main west entrance. The wooden bell tower in the cemetery was repaired in 2013, when its shingled roof and timber frame were taken apart and reassembled.

A Romanesque portal was found by chance during an archaeological survey at the start of the 20th century, proving the church existed by the 13th century. No fragments of that Romanesque building are visible to the naked eye today. The cemetery also holds the grave of the sculptor Karel Nepraš and the artist Naděžda Plíšková.
