Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary
Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, Gothic church in Poběžovice, Czech Republic
The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is a Gothic church building in Pobězovice featuring a pentagonal choir and three naves separated by octagonal columns. This architectural layout creates distinct spatial sections within the interior.
Construction began in 1517 following a devastating fire that destroyed the earlier early Gothic basilica built between 1253 and 1257. This rebuilding marked a significant moment in the spiritual history of the settlement.
The interior chapels honor different patron saints and reflect local devotion practices that shaped the spiritual life of the community. Visitors can observe how artistic traditions developed and changed through the centuries in these spaces.
Visitors should check with local information sources about current access options, as the church opens for religious services and special events throughout the year. Depending on the season and local activities, opportunities to explore the interior may vary.
In 1975 the entire church was moved 841 meters using specialized hydraulic systems to relocate it to a new site. This remarkable engineering feat protected the building from the threat of flooding.
