kostel Nanebevzetí Panny Marie (Mladá Vožice) Church
The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, sometimes also called the band of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, features the status of protected cultural monument of the Czech Republic. Under this protection stands not only the building itself, but also the stone staircase leading to the entrance and the cross road with the walled chapel.
An interesting circumstance is that the temple was created in a place where a young chateau once stood. He was destroyed during the Hussite wars - burned - and his remains became a new holy space. In 1646 he initiated the construction of the church Kryštof Karel Přehořovský z Kvasejovic. The new temple was built in the early Baroque style, which in the middle of the 17th century penetrated Czech countries.
The construction was changing and replenishing over time. The oldest is of course the church itself from 1646, but the priesthood - presbytery - was built only in 1827. The chapels of the cross road carry a late-classical style; over time they required maintenance in 1975 and 2001. The pictures in each chapel come from a newer age, the second half of the 1990s.
The interior of the church captures rich art. The main altar is dominated by the Rococo painting of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, painted by František Kristian Waldherr. In the presbytery lies the tomb of the Küenburg family. Other valuable elements of the interior include two tombstones from Václav Prachner, a respected sculptor of his time. The church ship is decorated with wall paintings from the first half of the 19th century on which all twelve apostles are depicted.
Today, the church appears to be a harmonious whole, where an early Baroque building meets with later modifications. The stone staircase and a series of chapels on the cross road increase the historical weight of the site and tell about the long history of the place - from the burned chateau to the Baroque temple to today's days.
