evangelický kostel v Třebíči Church

Church of Evangelists in Třebíči stands on Brother's class and belongs to the Choir of the Czech Brotherhood Church Evangelical. Its creation follows a long tradition of Protestantism in the region. In 1897, a Brotherhood Unity was founded in Třebíči; Five years later, the city of Třebíč sold land for the construction of a brotherly prayer house. The original intention was to set up the collection house according to the design of architect Jurkovic, but later decided to build the temple. The construction permit was extended from 1903 and a plan was selected for construction from the Viennese architect Zlatohlavka. The builder was the local company Kosik.

The construction of the church lasted from September 1909 to 1910, when the temple was completed and on 12th August it collapsed. The internal equipment was provided by the Brno company K. Pears and also installed electrical wiring, which was still exceptional in such an early period. On 15 August 1910 the ceremonial opening and sanctification of the church took place; ceremony present superintendent Ferdinand Císař and ceremonial sermon led by Josef Dobeš from New Town. Apart from the church itself, there was also a neighboring choir house with a parish. It started in the spring of 1928 and until the last day of the year of the same year it was collaborated; It contained a church and parish apartment, a room for biblical education, and the so-called Tardy Hall for a larger gathering.

The war and postwar periods have resulted in considerable interference with the construction. During the First World War, organ whistles and brass mound were seized; The rest of the precious metals were protected by the congregation by laying in the garden of the rectory. In November 1919 he initiated the formation of his separate congregation which was approved at the end of March 1920. A memorial plaque dedicated to three centuries since the gospels' departure into exile was revealed on 13 October 1929; during World War II, it was covered and the building marked with honorary and German inscriptions. The record was rediscovered in early 1946.

The second half of the 20th century brought a long series of renovations. Since 1947 there have been extensive repairs of the facade, the organ has been restored in the following years, the electrical network has been modified (220 volts have been transferred to summer 1949), and building status has been gradually improved including interior painting. The complex reconstruction of the organ took place in 1983, when a historical tool from 1849 was introduced. In the summer of 1988, the choir house obtained gas treatment.

Church architecture reflects the evangelical tradition of modesty. The tower without bells rises from the west front above the main entrance. The interior consists of a single ship with three rows of altar-oriented benches and a pulpit. The decoration remains evangelically simple. On the wall next to the entrance, the commemorative plate from 1915 commemorates the fifth anniversary of the burning of Master Jan Hus. Part of the church is a commemorative plaque dedicated to three centuries since the mass departure of Czech brothers from Třebíč to exile.

The visitor in the church will find authentic evidence of the restoration of the Czech Protestant community in the 20th century - from its founding in the epoch of national awakening to the war trials to the carefully guarded restoration in the hands of the religious congregation.
