Holy Trinity Church

This church is rarely open. Probably just for ceremonies. But it's beautiful. Inside is a beautiful altar. It is located in a cemetery, which is where I go to see my ancestors. So this place is probably not something I should describe for tourists, but thanks to the church the cemetery is also visited by tourists.

Such a hidden beauty, a Renaissance cemetery church with late Gothic elements. I don't know why Kouřimi is not in the tourist circuits.

The Renaissance church from 1591, built in the newly established cemetery behind the city walls, was looted by Swedish troops in 1639, which resulted in damage to the original Renaissance equipment. During the repairs in 1903–04, carried out by Kamil Hilbert, the valuable cellar vault of the presbytery was unfortunately removed and the church truss replaced. The dilapidated church was reconstructed and restored in 1993. The single-nave rectangular church with a presbytery closed on three sides is externally equipped with sample supports. The building is covered by a high gabled roof with an octagonal turret on the ridge, which replaced the original onion-shaped dome with poppies. The main altar dates from after 1700. The altarpiece depicting the Holy Trinity by J. Ludvík Bernard dates from 1860. On the facade of the church there are several tombstones, the oldest of which are two Renaissance children's tombstones from around 1600. Today the branch church falling under the administration of the Roman Catholic parish of Kostelec nad Černými lesy. There are no regular services in the church. The building, together with the cemetery wall and the gate, is registered in the Central List of Immovable Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic.
