Church of Saint George, Church in Třebom, Czech Republic
The Church of Saint George is a stone-built house of worship in Trebom featuring traditional architectural details common to Czech church design. The interior contains decorated altars and windows that fill the space with soft light.
The church was built between 1781 and 1785 in late Baroque style on the initiative of the Teutonic Order, which then owned Třebom. It replaced an older predecessor building. In 1920 the parish lost all its affiliated villages when the Hlučín region was ceded to Czechoslovakia. The church was renovated inside and out in 2011–2012, and its organ was restored in 2022.
The parish of Třebom was long served from Sudice and lost most of its villages in 1920 when the Hultschin region passed to Czechoslovakia. A bell cast in 1511, weighing 590 kg and tuned to A1, was found in the tower of St. Peter in Tübingen-Lustnau and handed over in Ostrava Cathedral on 13 April 2024 under the "Bells of Peace and Reconciliation for Europe" project of Bishop Gebhard Fürst.
Visitors can view the building from outside and explore the interior when doors are open. Pay attention to service times so you know when religious ceremonies take place.
The tower bell was replaced in 2014 after its heart cracked. In 2024 the parish received a 1511 bell, 590 kg in weight and 0.97 m across, tuned to A1, found in the tower of St. Peter in Tübingen-Lustnau and handed over in Ostrava as part of the Bells of Peace for Europe project.
