Church of St. Nicholas

After repair a very nice and quiet place to pray. An oasis of peace in Poruba.

The intimate atmosphere, the family church for 30 years and for all baptisms, weddings and funerals, pleasant parishioners

Beautiful church ⛪ with atmosphere and nice kazanim Mr. Pastor. I was surprised by the large attendance at the service.

I remember quite a bit. 50 years ago, I was a kid and I remember visiting the shroud with my grandmother. I still remember the difficult time to this day, although the child's soul has seen it differently. Beautiful church in Old Poruba and a spiritual place for allied souls.

Church of st. Nicholas is one of the oldest preserved monuments of Poruba. Its history dates back to the 15th century; then he provided spiritual services to the municipalities of Poruba, Vřesina, Svinov and Třebovice. The original Gothic church was built in the 14th century by Adam of Kornice. In 1491, a separate clergyman was first mentioned, but his name was not known. The reconstruction, which was inevitable, started in 1787. The entire transverse wall through which the main entrance to the church had to be removed had to be excavated and deeper foundations had to be excavated. The church vault and presbytery were rebuilt, the church was fitted with a new roof. The interior was equipped with a new main altar and two side altars, and a new organ was purchased. In 1795 the church was finished. However, the tower of the church was not completed until 1808. The cemetery gate and the cemetery wall were also refurbished, and a new staircase to the main door of the church was also built. At the end of the 19th century, the Baroque furnishings of the temple were replaced by new ones. In 1895 new side altars with statues of the Virgin Mary of Lourdes and St. Antonín of Padua, a year later a new main altar with statues of St. Nicholas and St. Cyril and Methodius. The church tower was in a very bad condition, therefore it was reconstructed in its current form in 1909 and fitted with a new clock. The interior of the church was modified in the spirit of the renewed liturgy according to the guidelines II. Vatican Council in 1970 - 1975. At that time the sacristy was added on the northern side of the church. The current interior has been reconstructed from 2008 - 2010, when the main altar, ambons, church pews were replaced and the tabernacle was modified.

Unfortunately, the church did not remain white, but hopefully it will return soon because today's "new paint" will not last long ... If anyone knew what this link means, please comment ... Thank you

There is nothing interesting in the Church, you can probably go inside, but I personally was just looking around.
