Kostel Rozeslání apoštolů

Beautiful place.

Picturesque church in the middle of Toulovec Square.

Beautiful little church, when luckily you can look inside.

Apostles, mentioned for the first time in 1407, when a prominent burgher of Litomyšl, Vavřinec Toulovec, financially secured the hospital. According to legend, he is buried in the church. It is the oldest sacral building still standing in the city, connected to the hospital through a covered corridor. It was damaged several times (during the Hussite wars and during the Thirty Years War), it also burnt down several times, and was subsequently repaired (especially in 1705, 1735, 1775 and 1814). Between 1838 and 1842, a large reconstruction was carried out in the romantic style. The hospital building was demolished after 1945. To the left of the church is worth mentioning a beautiful neo-Gothic building from 1865, today the congregation of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church, followed by the house of M. D. Rettig.

The beautiful church stands in the middle of Toulcova Square and would seem to be too modest and unassuming compared to the temples nearby. Nevertheless, its beauty attracts, the originally Gothic church has stood here since the 14th century and was part of the hospital, which was richly presented by Vavřinec Toulovec from Třemošná, after which the whole square is named.
