Originally a Romanesque church, one of the oldest Romanesque churches in the country. But there is not much to see.

Church of the Baptism of St. At first glance, John the Baptist is of medieval origin and has long been the center of the village. It is a rectangular building with a semicircular apse built in the east by classical Romanesque technique from carefully worked marl blocks placed in regular rows. The first church (from the 11th century) was also the tomb of an important person. In the middle of the 12th century, the Ostrov monastery had it replaced by a rotunda, which, with a diameter of 12.60 m, was one of the largest in Bohemia. According to archaeological excavations, today's church is the third consecration in this place and dates from the last quarter of the 12th century, when it was built by the new owner of the village, the Strahov Monastery. From 1352 the church was parish. In 1905, Romanesque paintings were uncovered in it, and in the 1970s, the remains of terracotta paving.

One of the oldest churches in our country, which stands in a beautiful place and has an amazing atmosphere. Excellent work and thus a big thank you to the Civic Association for the Protection of Monuments in Dolní Chabry (OSOP), which repairs the church and not only that. They organize various events where you will learn a lot, but you can also contribute to the repair of this beautiful church, a former pilgrimage site that will surely grab your heart ❤️
