kostel Jména Panny Marie (Černá Voda) Church
The parish church of the Virgin Mary is located in Black Water in district Jeseník. It is located under the Roman Catholic parish Černá Voda within the Dean Jeseník and the Diocese of Ostrava-opavská and is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
Černá Voda has been mentioned as a municipality since 1284. The actual sacral structure for the inhabitants was created later. In 1785 the village established a locale and the services were held in the chateau chapel. The need for its own church culminated at the beginning of the next decade - between 1787 and 1788 the Classicist Church of the Virgin Mary was built under the leadership of the local masonic master Rösslera. In 1843, the church became a parish temple. Above the main entrance is a inscription dated 1787, which still shows this important stage in the life of the village.
The construction represents a typical classicist single-boat construction with a rectangular finish and a tower in the west front. The tower is three storeys and partly planted in the facade, which has a three-axis breakdown. It ends with a tent roof and on its bell floor there is a circular dial of the clock. Under the tower, the tower is spread with a cross vault, from where the stairs lead to the wooden circle and to the tower. The main ship is rectangular, encapsulated with a vaulted arch with sections and equipped with three windows in each side wall. Between the ship and the priesthood, there is a half-circle triumphal arch sitting on the pilasters. The priestess is right-angled with the cornered corner, encapsulated with flat, with broken windows in the side walls and access to the sacristy. The sacristy, attached to the north side, is encapsulated in the valleys with sections. The ship has a tent roof, a sacristy counter.
The interior was painted around 1899 by Alois Bauch from Vidnava, the altar painting came from the hand of Rudolph Tampler. The church is surrounded by a cemetery which is protected by a wall of quarry stone. In the western part of the tower, the entrance gate is spread with sandstone carved sculptures on the extreme prismatic pillars - on the right side is the statue of St. John, on the left Mother Painful.
The interesting thing is that there is a summer colony on the grounds of the church, a small, protected species of bat that is protected in the area. As one of the few churches of its time, the church retains this natural part of the local ecosystem.
