kostel Nejsvětější Trojice (Babice) Church
The Church of the Holy Trinity in the village Babice in the district of Třebíč is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. The temple serves as a parish church of the granny parish and its history is closely related to the development of the village itself.
The first written mention of the church dates back to 1349, which ranks it among the ancient sacral structures of the region. Over the centuries, the building has undergone continuous modifications and reconstructions. In the first half of the 16th century the church was Gothic rebuilt, which reflected the trends of construction activity in Moravia.
In 1614, the Babice disaster - a massive fire destroyed not only the church but also the adjoining rectory. After that, the construction was only provisionally repaired. The true renewal came only at the end of the 17th century when the temple was rebuilt, sanctified and dedicated to the Holy Trinity. This patrocinium remained a church until today.
In the 19th century the situation of the temple changed fundamentally again. Since 1858, the vicar Josef Veselý worked here, under whose direction it was decided to demolish an old, no longer suitable church and build a new building. The new temple was ceremoniously sanctified on 25 March 1865.
Architecturally, it is a single-seat temple with a characteristic structure: an isolated triboc of a closed priestry, a rectangular boat and a dominant prism tower. This building type was common for 19th century buildings. The church is a neo-Baroque establishment from 1879 and includes an altar and organ. In addition to these newer elements, the temple has retained the older equipment - the stone baptist from the mid-17th century is the primary exhibit, which survived the fire and subsequent reconstruction.
Today, the church is presented as a harmonious place, where a layer of history from the late Middle Ages to the early New Ages to the 19th century. It serves believers, but also attracts curious visitors, which fascinates the long story of his continued pursuit of renewal.
