kostel Nejsvětějšího Srdce Ježíšova (Suchá) Church
The Church of the Holy Heart of Jesus is located in the middle of the Suché village, which is part of the town of Jáchymov. It was built in 1927-1929 for the needs of the people there and falls under the parish Jáchymov. This is an interesting monument to the local community's initiative in the first decades of the Czechoslovak Republic.
The church was created as a result of the efforts of the preparatory committee led by Johann Öehm (President) and Johann Pepperle (Managing Director). Originally, only a modest chapel was planned, but later it decided to build a full church. The funds were collected by a collection between local residents and between Jáchymov, which also contributed building timber. The management of the construction committee was very close - the amount of CZK 60,000 was exhausted until 1928 and therefore it was not able to reach the bell.
This obstacle has been solved in an unusual way. The town museum in Jáchymov provided a bell from 1630, created by the bell man Hans Zincka. The loan was guaranteed by President Öhm, Vice-President K. Hahne and J. Drumm, who was the school manager at Suché and treasurer of the construction committee. Thanks to this solution, the church could be ceremonially consecrated on October 20, 1929.
However, the bell remained only briefly. In 1940 Jáchymov demanded his return. The residents of the Dry Return were stalling, but their efforts were futile. In 1941 the bell was seized along with the bells in Jáchymov and the surrounding area and melted for war purposes.
A long period of relative omission followed World War II. After 2000, the town of Jáchymov had the church completely renovated with the financial contribution of the Karlovy Vary Region. The roof was replaced, plaster was repaired and the interior was renovated. Today it serves as a place for meeting local and tourist. Concerts and other cultural events are held here. The Holy Mass is held regularly at Christmas. From spring to autumn the church is secured by a lattice, which allows visitors to see the interior.
