Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Průhonice Castle, Romanesque church in Průhonice Castle, Czech Republic

The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary stands within Průhonice Park, featuring original Gothic frescoes from the 14th century on its walls.

Bishop Henry Bretislaus of Prague, nephew of King Vladislav, consecrated this religious structure in 1187 during the initial construction of the fortress.

The main winged altarpiece, created by the Master of the Vejprnice Altar, illustrates numerous scenes from Virgin Mary's life in late 15th-century craftsmanship.

The church interior displays a replica of the original altarpiece, while the authentic piece resides in the National Gallery in Prague's Czech Gothic collection.

Following extensive renovations completed in 2018, the restored chapel interior reveals medieval murals dating back to the early 1300s.
