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

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary features a three-aisle Romanesque design with a Gothic transept added between 1258 and 1263.

The church's construction began during the reign of Bohemian King Ottokar I, who ruled from 1198 to 1230, marking its early significance in regional architecture.

The main altar, created by Josef Lauermann in 1769, displays intricate stonework and statues crafted by Ignác Platzer, representing Czech religious artistry.

The church currently operates under reconstruction status since April 2019, with efforts focused on maintaining its structural elements and historical features.

Side walls contain frescoes depicting scenes from Saint Norbert's life, painted by Silesian artist Vilém Neuenherz in 1743, representing regional artistic traditions.
