Kostel svatého Václava a Božího Těla

Beautiful church.

Farewell to Grandpa.

Church of St. Wenceslas and the Corpus Christi shine through a beautiful yellow facade into the distance. It is beautifully restored, the original Gothic elements reminiscent that today the Empire building used to be Gothic. The church dates back to the middle of the 14th century, the Empire reconstruction took place in 1846-1848. The church is surrounded by a cemetery.

Originally a Gothic church of St. Wenceslas dates from the early 14th century (remembered in 1350 as a parish). Its builder probably belonged to the circle of the royal court (at that time, King Jan of Luxembourg, Henry of Lipá and Eliška Rejčka took turns in the possession of the village). The original Gothic appearance of the church was overlaid during the radical late Empire reconstruction of 1846-48. After the completion of the works, the restored church was newly consecrated to the Body of God. In 1863, the tower was raised and during the restoration in 1913-14, the preserved original Gothic details were uncovered and acknowledged, proving the extraordinarily high level of the building. In the years 2010-19, repairs to the facades took place. The church is surrounded by a functional maintained cemetery, where you will find many interesting tombstones from the 16th to 19th centuries. The ground floor house of the gravedigger by the northern cemetery wall from the 19th century has also been preserved. It was repaired in 2013 and today serves as the building administration office of the Kolín Vicariate - since 2005 the branch church has been under the administration of the Kolín Roman Catholic Parish. Services are held here on the first and third Saturday of the month from 5:00 p.m. The originally Gothic church of St. Wenceslas dates back to the beginning of the 14th century (mentioned in 1350 as a parish one).
