Church of the Visitation of Our Lady

Church of the Visitation of Our Lady, Cultural monument and church in Rudné, Czech Republic.

The Church of the Visitation of Our Lady is a single-nave Baroque church built in 1786–1788 in Rudné. A narrow prismatic tower with a tall pyramidal roof stands before the west facade, and the entrance is a rectangular portal on the tower's south side. The nave has four pairs of wide rectangular windows with semicircular arches, and the three-sided presbytery has three identical windows.

Rudné belonged to the parish of Nejdek until 1784, when it became its own parish; a church foundation was set up in 1874. The foundation stone was laid in 1786 and the church was consecrated in 1788, built at the expense of the imperial religious fund. After the German population was expelled after 1945 it stood unused and decayed, until Czech and German natives funded a reconstruction from 1985 to 1996, marked by a service with Bishop František Radkovský on 8 September 1996.

The church is a filial church of the Roman Catholic parish; until 1784 Rudné belonged to the parish of St. Martin in Nejdek, then became its own parish with Vysoká Pec attached. A procession of believers from Vysoká Pec once came to the church from the vanished Strickekapelle chapel. The cemetery beside it holds scattered German gravestones.

The church stands in Rudné, part of Vysoká Pec in the Karlovy Vary region, and a marked nature trail, the Vysoká Pec–Rudné educational path, passes right by it. The former baroque parish house next to the south side now serves as a building of the Rudné social care institute. The church is a branch church of the parish, so services are not held regularly; check locally before planning a visit inside.

The church's tower once carried a baroque onion dome, later replaced by the present slender pyramid roof. Inside, the presbytery holds a baroque painting of Saint Elizabeth from the second half of the 17th century, and the loft is decorated with baroque statues of Saint Joachim and Saint Anne.
