In the village of Rudná near Prague in the Dušníky district, on an artificial hill, there is a church dedicated to St. George. Many legends circulate about the hill itself. When and for what purpose it was built in the thirteenth century, the chapel of this saint was supposed to stand on the top, but it is not documented until 1595. in 1688 a baroque church was built instead of a chapel it was demolished due to considerable damage caused by unstable subsoil in 1904 it was demolished in 1908 to 1910 a new church was built this time in neo-Romanesque style which still stands today but despite thorough foundations the problems with the subsoil could not be solved still persist

The church and its surroundings are currently being reconstructed. And it will be beautiful. It looks beautiful here now. When it's done and it's open, we'll come back here.

The first time I saw this strange building from the window of a passing train and I was so impressed that I was climbing the staircase two days later with the intention of exploring it closely. The Pseudo-Romanesque church stands on a hill called Calvary, 9 meters high and 30 meters in diameter. It stood at the top in the 13th century. chapel of st. Jiří. It was repaired in 1595, but in the years 1687–1688 a Baroque church measuring 19 x 13 meters was built in its place.

The foundation stone of the new church was laid in 1908 and consecrated in 1912. Unfortunately, the new building now shows signs of static damage and continues to deteriorate.

Folk legends associate his origins with the battle of nearby Loděnice in 1179 (the mound above the grave of a major warrior), according to another legend, the victorious Soběslav had him alive to cover the captured enemy warrior with his horse. Only folk creativity. In 1904, Professor Ladislav Píč conducted the reconnaissance pioneer here, but no burial room was found. The finding of a horse's skull may be evidence of more religious and ritual practices from far older (since the Eneolithic), at that time the building of the mounds in our territory was relatively widespread. According to other historians, Homole could be used as a sound on the line between Beroun and Prague Castle. The first time I saw this strange building from the window of a passing train, I was so intrigued that I had climbed the staircase two days later with the intention of exploring it closely. The Pseudo-Romanesque church is situated on a hill known as Homole (Hummock or Cone), 9 meters high and 30 meters in diameter. The Chapel of St. George Stood at the top of the 13th century.

The Hummock was artificially established, as it was confirmed by archaeological and construction surveys, but it was never possible to find out how and why it was created. Folk legends associate its origins with the battle of nearby Loděnice in 1179 (the mound above the grave of a major warrior), according to another legend, the victorious Soběslav covered the soil over the captured enemy warrior with his horse. But let's move to the proven facts. In 1904 a famous Professor Ladislav Píč conducted the research here, but no burial room was found. The horse's skull can be illustrated by religious and ritual practices from far older times (since the Eneolithic). At that time, in addition, the construction of such cones and barrows in our territory was relatively widespread. According to other historians, the hillock could be used as a kind of watch tower on the line between Beroun and Prague Castle.
