Kostel svatého Martina - Žalanského

Symbol of beet, in the evening the church is beautifully lit.

Beautiful Romanesque church! Its wooden predecessor was built in the middle of the 12th century, around 1225 a tower and a grandstand were added on the west side. The first report on the existence of a stone church comes from 1368, when it is listed as a branch church of the parish church in Liboc. In the second half of the 18th century, it was remodeled and vaulted in the Baroque style, and at the beginning of the 19th century, the tower was remodeled in the Classicist style. It acquired its present appearance by repairing the facade in the 20th century. Archaeological research has shown burial in the vicinity of the church since the 13th century. A total of 119 graves were discovered here. In the 19th century, some of the remains were moved to a new cemetery near the town hall. The beautiful Romanesque church!

Branch Church of St. Martin (originally a Romanesque church built around the middle of the 12th century) is mentioned in the possession of the Břevnov Monastery in 1264. The church also included an old cemetery, which was moved to the current cemetery in the 19th century. The church bell was consecrated by Archbishop Cardinal Beran in 1949. Now the ringing is no longer done manually, the bell is electrically operated. The existence of the church, or rather its Romanesque origin, is a clear proof that the village of Řepy certainly existed before the 13th century. Church of St. Martin was never consecrated, so a solemn mass celebrated in 1992 by the Archbishop of Prague Škarvada could be celebrated in him without any problems. During the celebrations of the Řep millennium in 1993, the Pontifical Mass of the Břevnov Archbishop P. dr. Anastáz Opasek, the day after the title of archbishop was granted to him by Pope John Paul II.
