Church of the Transfiguration, Baroque pilgrimage church in Pacelice, Czech Republic

The Church of the Transfiguration sits on Kršovec hill at approximately 500 meters in elevation and features a single nave with two side chapels and pilaster-decorated gables. The Baroque structure displays solid workmanship with straightforward architectural lines.

The building was constructed between 1763 and 1765 from plans attributed to architect Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer, replacing an older chapel that previously stood at this location. This construction followed a period of growing Baroque church building in the region.

The pilgrimage church was built thanks to Countess Marie Alžběta Serenyiová, who funded the 1763–1765 construction. Its fame as a pilgrimage site lasted only until the reign of Joseph II, after which the site declined. The hill is called Křesovec, and the church stands near the villages of Pacelice and Škvořetice in the Strakonice district.

The building is currently inaccessible, with its entrances sealed shut, so only the exterior can be viewed. Access is via a marked hiking path located about 300 meters from Pacelice village.

The Baroque church, built 1763–1765, replaced an earlier chapel on Křesovec hill. Countess Marie Alžběta Serenyiová funded the construction, and the design is attributed to K. I. Dientzenhofer or his pupils. The site's pilgrimage fame faded after the reign of Joseph II.
