Kostel Zvěstování Panny Marie - Jezuitská 22

V době mé prohlídky bývalého jezuitského kostela instalována výstava pořádaná Severočeskou galerií výtvarného umění: Mára Site Spevific. Velkoformátové fotografie v nerestaurovaném vnitřku kostela? Ano. Prostě paráda. Celý prostor si můžete neomezeně doslova prolézt. Návštěva v rámci akce "Litoměřice, okruh církevní památky". Celkem 8 objektů. Cena 150,- Kč a k tomu po splnění návštěv dostanete kávu a pivo.

Téměř prázdný kostel. Ohromně působivý. Při pohledu na zdevastovaný oltář mi okamžitě v hlavě naskočila Krylova lyrika: "Z rozmlácenýho kostela v krabici s kusem jídla přinesl jsem si anděla, ulámali mu křídla".

Zvenku nádherná stavba uvnitř volá o záchranu. Nedivím se zbírce.

Super

Amazing place, great art exhibition

Beautiful abandoned cathedral. Great to have a look at previous glory

The atmospheric street of Jezuitska right on the south edge of Mirove namesti boasts not one but two Baroque places of worship. The one that catches your immediate attention by reason of its position is the All Saints Church, a grand building topped by a lofty pair of Gothic spires and three shorter but spikier ones at the back. All else, including the stonework on the facade and the interior stuccowork is purely Baroque. Purely Baroque with no Gothic remnants whatsoever is the more impressive Jesuit Church of the Virgin, also on Jezuitska but on the south edge where it towers above the River Elbe. Its facade, adorned with an ornamental doorway and a double line of carved friezes has been recently given a face-lift and a new coat of paint... well, isn’t that pair of resplendent colours too gaudy for a church? Make your way inside and you will be faced with an interior soaked in sunlight that allows for a thorough appraisal of the distinctive frescoes on the ceiling. Equally impressive is the ornamental gilded stuccowork that adorns each and every corner of the church. The high altar is particularly spectacular, its panelled altarpiece draped in heavy stuccowork being a 16th-century masterpiece. Go up to the organ loft, another heavily-decorated place that accommodates a century-old organ and you will have the opportunity to see more renovations under way. The church is no longer used for worship and is indefinitely kept closed. But in summer, it is frequently used to host art exhibitions and organ-music festivals. Check at the tourist office (in the Mrazovsky Dum on Mirove namesti) for opening hours. As you exit the church, go down the adjoining flight of steps that lead to the river promenade. Half-way down, a small garden that hangs over the old city bastions is ideal for a break-off and a cup of coffee from the garden brasserie.

The former Church of the Annunciation (Czech Kostel Zvěstování Panny Marie v Litoměřicích) is protected as a cultural monument. It is an important Baroque building built by Giulio Broggio & Octavio Broggio (1701 - 1731). + parking is available at multiple locations close by + beautiful church even the inside is very damaged
