kostel Navštívení Panny Marie (Jednov) Church
The Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary in Suchdole, the local part of Jednova, is one of the important Baroque monuments of Central Moravia. It is protected by the status of the cultural monument of the Czech Republic and serves as a parish church of the Roman Catholic parish Suchdol near Prostějova.
The beginnings of the temple are associated with an unusual place - near the source near the village of Suchdol, which the locals considered healing. This spring first attracted a small wooden statue of the Painful Virgin Mary and gradually formed a small chapel around it. The site has become a sought-after destination for pilgrims. The Temple of Clarisks in Olomouc, which owned the Suchdol estate, recognized an opportunity in this pilgrimage tradition. He decided to build a new sanctuary here - but first only a chapel, which would later serve as a presbytery of a larger church.
The construction of this chapel started in 1763 and after two years, in 1765, it was completed. However, enlargement plans have come to an obstacle. In 1782 the monastery was abolished and therefore the completion of the church itself was postponed. Only in the early 19th century, between 1807 and 1810, the construction was finally realized. At the same time, the parish residence was established, which enabled stronger spiritual administration of the parish.
Time has not been left in mind. At the beginning of the 20th century, the church underwent further reconstruction and reconstruction. In 1911, a tower joined the stage, which added a significant vertical accent to the construction and became a dominant part of the landscape.
The Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary presents an interesting chapter of local ecclesiastical and regional history. It is a building which was developed gradually, intermittently, and whose architectural solution reflected the variable circumstances of the construction. The visitor can experience the atmosphere of baroque piety and understand how deep roots the tradition of pilgrimage and respect for the Virgin Mary has in the Czech landscape.
