Kostel sv. Jiří - Kostel sv. Jiří

Nice church hidden on the edge of a picturesque village ..

Church of St. George in Věžná was first mentioned in 1358. In 1384 it became a parish church, but already during the Hussite wars the parish disappeared and the church was added to Chýnov. The parish was restored by the Eggenbergs in 1613. In 1733 it underwent extensive alterations and reconstructions, the result of which was its current predominantly Baroque appearance. The church is a single-nave oriented building with facades divided by pressed frames. The rectangular (13.6x8.28m) flat-ceilinged ship is illuminated by two pairs of rectangular segmented windows on the longer sides. At the western wall, a bar is raised on two massive pillars, the pillars are at the same time the basis for a two-storey prismatic tower raised above the western facade. From the north is connected a small square hall. The indented rectangular (9.3x5.7 m) presbytery is also flat-ceilinged, illuminated by five windows identical to the nave, two pairs in the side walls and the last in the east wall. In the interior there is a baroque altar from 1764 with a painting (copy of a Gothic panel painting) St. George on a white horse killing a dragon.
