Church of Saint Giles, Medieval church in Třebnice, Czech Republic.
The Church of Saint Giles is a single-nave Gothic church on the village square of Třebnice, built in the second half of the 14th century and rebuilt in Baroque style in the second quarter of the 18th century. A narrower polygonal presbytery adjoins the nave, with a sacristy and a two-storey prismatic tower on the north side. The presbytery keeps its original rib vault and tracery windows, and two Gothic portals survive, one into the sacristy and one in the south porch.
The Church of Saint Giles is a Gothic single-nave building from the second half of the 14th century, rebuilt in the Baroque style in the second quarter of the 18th century. After neglect following the Second World War it fell into a state of emergency; in 2007 the damaged cornice was temporarily secured, in 2010 the roof was reconstructed, and a few years later the roof truss and the finial of the church tower were restored.
The church stands on the village square of Třebnice, surrounded by a stone boundary wall with a gate on the south side, a small gate on the east and a former mortuary built into the north wall. The walled former cemetery around it marks the church's role as the burial ground of the village.
The church stands on the village square of Třebnice, ringed by a stone wall with a gate on the south side and a small door on the east; a former mortuary is built into the north stretch of the wall. The building is in a dilapidated state and was only partly secured by repairs to the damaged cornice in 2007, the roof in 2010 and later the roof truss and tower finial, so the interior is not a regular visiting site.
The church has no organ; its interior is covered by a wooden coffered ceiling, and a wooden gallery stands at the western end of the nave. Two Gothic portals survive, one into the sacristy and one in the south porch. The building has been in a dilapidated state since neglect after World War II.
