Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, Gothic church in Poběžovice, Czech Republic

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary stands with a pentagonal presbytery and features three naves divided by octahedral columns.

The church construction began in 1517, following a devastating fire that destroyed the previous early Gothic basilica established between 1253 and 1257.

The interior houses multiple chapels dedicated to different patron saints, displaying significant Gothic and Renaissance art collections throughout the year.

The church maintains regular opening hours for both religious services and art exhibitions, serving the local community as a spiritual and cultural center.

The structure underwent a remarkable engineering feat in 1975, moving 841 meters to its current location using specialized hydraulic systems.
