Pravoslavná církevní obec v Rumburku

A bit neglected, but the way up is worth it

Beautiful walk right in town.

I prayed calmly and we talked beautifully with the spiritual administrator

The Church of the Baptism of St. John the Baptist in the Baroque style can be found together with the Stations of the Cross on Strážné vrch - from Lužické náměstí it is about a kilometer walk along the blue marked route. Today's church used to be a pilgrimage chapel. Its foundation stone was laid in 1722 and was completed in 1725. In 1759 it was rebuilt and leased to the Orthodox Church for 99 years, but in 1784 it was abolished. In 1787, the owner became the Rumburk canvas manufacturer Fidelis Salomon, who rebuilt the building into a windmill, but it was later abolished for economic reasons and a pub was established in its place. In 1845, the complex was acquired by the Rumburk burghers' association, which rebuilt the complex into a place of pilgrimage. By 1829, the Stations of the Cross with Calvary was built north of the former chapel.
