Kostel Narození Panny Marie

Beautiful.

I recommend a visit to the NIGHT OF CHURCHES.

The Gothic Church of the Birth of the Virgin Mary was founded around 1344. In 1553 it was rebuilt in Baroque style. Today's appearance was acquired during the rebuilding in 1839.

The church, built in the old, long-abolished cemetery, was originally Gothic (backs of the presbytery), later modified, especially in the Baroque (interior) and Classicism (facade with a tower). The building is listed as a parish between 1344-51. At that time, Czech rulers had the right to pass. It was burned down by Swedish troops in 1639, but was rebuilt the following year. In 1707, the church was still without a tower, at its western facade stood a massive hexagonal bell tower with three bells, which was demolished in 1839, and a year later the church acquired its present appearance with a Romanizing tower at the western facade. Since January 1, 2004, the church has been a parish church for the merged Roman Catholic parish of Nový Strašecí and several surrounding villages.
