kostel Nejsvětější Trojice (Střelice) Church
The Church of the Holy Trinity in Shrelice, a small village in the district of Brno-venkov, is a protected cultural monument of the Czech Republic. For centuries, the temple serves as a parish church of the shelling parish and is an organic part of the village.
The oldest mention of the existence of the church and parish in Střelice dates back to the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, when it is recorded in historical records only indirectly but reliably. This period dates back to the Gothic core of the building, which forms the oldest building layer of today's temple. The original tower of the church is assumed to have been built before 1521, and was located alongside the main ship.
The fundamental transformation of the church took place in 1766 when the late Baroque reconstruction was carried out. Then the chapel was added, the circle was built, a new hall was created and above all a new prism tower was built in the western facade. This entry replaced the lower tower and the architecture of the temple took the form that characterizes it so far. In the course of the 19th century, the bone-in-the-year adjustments gradually adapted to the changing liturgical and pastoral needs.
An interesting historical part is the figure from 1897, when the documents mention the original initiation of the temple to St. Jilja. In 1932 the church experienced the last major building intervention: a transverse boat was built in the place of the original presbytery with a new priesthood, which was completed by a semi-circular apsid. This 20th century, the building campaign determined today's form of the inner space of the church.
A traditional part of the church was a cemetery that spread around the building. The temple remains the parish temple of Shrelice and serves local believers. The visit allows to observe architectural layers - from Gothic foundations to Baroque transformation to modern 20th century expansion - which illustrate the long development of Czech rural farms.

The Church of the Holy Trinity is a Roman Catholic church in Střelice in the Brno-venkov district. It serves as the parish church of the local parish and is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
The core of the building is Gothic. The first indirect mention of the parish and church dates back to the turn of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The original tower, built possibly before 1521, did not stand in the façade but beside the nave.
A significant transformation came in 1766. During the late Baroque reconstruction, a chapel, gallery, and vestibule were created, and the new western façade received a new pyramidal tower. Further modifications followed during the nineteenth century. It is interesting that as late as 1897, the original dedication of the church is mentioned, which was to Saint Aegidius.
The most recent major expansion took place in 1932. In place of the former presbytery, a transverse nave was then created with a new chancel, which ends in a semicircle.
A cemetery once lay around the church.
