Kostel Narození Panny Marie (Záchlumí) Church

This one-ship mannerist-Baroque shrine is decorated with a long and complex history dating deep into the Middle Ages. Although the exact time of the foundation is not known, the church was already in Záchlumí in 1344, when the record mentions the priest Ering from Zahram. In 1377, the church and the village themselves were first explicitly mentioned in written sources.

Since the Záchlumí belonged to the attractive town of Stříbru, it is likely that the Gothic church was of an attractive character during the 15th and 16th centuries. He maintained this form despite the period of the Thirty Years' War - although the war was very affected, the church continued to serve as a church of the parish in Upper Kozolupy.

The decisive change in the construction took place between 1699 and 1701, when it was rebuilt by Countess Susan Antony of Vrtby in the spirit of the Baroque. This intervention changed the character of the building from Gothic to the baroque form it retained. A hundred years later, in 1828, a tower was added to the temple.

The characteristic element of long time was the onion pit on the roof. In the second half of the 20th century, the church decayed considerably, and in 1996 it was brought down due to poor condition. The memory lost one of its license plates.

The situation turned in the 21st century. In 2007, the municipality of Záchlumí initiated reconstruction together with the local church - the ship and presbytery acquired a new roof. In 2019 the church became the property of the village, which, with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and the Pilsen Region, carries out a gradual reconstruction of the building. A collection has been submitted to the public to finance the opramb.

To this day it remains the dominant village and place of the traditional Marian festival. It tells the story of the stylish development of the Czech temple - from Gothic to Baroque to modern restoration of the 21st century.
