Saint George Church in Strážov

The Saint George Church features a northern and southern tower, with limestone block walls that create a minimalist architectural composition.

The church emerged in 920 under Vratislaus I of Bohemia's reign, later experiencing substantial damage during the 1142 siege that required reconstruction.

The northern and southern towers earned the informal names 'Eve' and 'Adam', connecting architectural elements to regional traditions and religious symbolism.

The building serves as a concert hall and exhibition space since 1962, when authorities designated it as a national cultural monument.

The limestone construction method differs from typical religious buildings of that era, maintaining its original Romanesque character without later decorative additions.
