Kostel svatého Václava

Beautiful nature around. Very suitable for hiking. This Church of St. Wenceslas stands on the square in the village of Blíževedly in the Českolipsko region. Originally a Gothic building, it was an early Baroque building after reconstruction in the 18th century.

The original Gothic church stood on the site of today's building in the 14th century. Its existence is recorded in 1352. Presbytery walls have been preserved. The church was gradually rebuilt, for the first time at the end of the 14th century. In 1763 the church nave was baroqueized and the reconstruction was not completed until 1677. In 1818 the presbytery was statically secured. In 1835 the roof was newly covered. In 2008 the church received a completely new facade. Worship is held once a month, usually on the 28th of the month (in the event that this date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the worship is translated to the nearest weekday according to the priest's possibilities), the time of worship is always announced in advance.
