kostel Povýšení svatého Kříže (Husinec) Church

The Church of the Ascension of the Holy Cross in Husinci is a parish church of the Roman Catholic parish and a cultural monument which forms a key part of the urban structure of the city. Together with the neighboring rectory he created a spiritual center of settlement. Located on the slightly elevated Prokop Square in the heart of Husinca.

The original church belonged to the Parish of the Basil. The first written mention of it dates back to 1389. During the 17th century, the buildings undergo major changes - in 1654 he suffered serious damage, either as a result of fire or wars, in 1663 he was rebuilt. Another milestone was in 1745, when a separate parish was established in Husinci and the church became a parish church. The most dramatic event was the night after St. Wenceslas's feast in September 1802, when the church caught a massive fire. The flames destroyed the original bells that melted. This disaster was followed by thorough reconstruction between 1802 and 1808, but during which medieval masonry was preserved. The last major repair of the building was carried out at the end of the twentieth century.

The building development of the church begins with a Gothic construction around 1359. The fire of 1654 destroyed the vault of the presbytery and the circle. According to written reports, the church was in 1663. In 1753, a tower was added. After a catastrophic fire in 1802, there was a substantial reconstruction during which the tower was increased, but the medieval wall was preserved.

Architecturally, it is a single-boat building with a rectangular presbytery and sacristy on the north side, the tower stands in front of the west front. Presbytery and sacristy are arched by a vaulted vault with sections from the 17th century, at the end of the presbytery there is painted altar architecture by M. Kubašta. The triumphal arch is semicircular. The ship is flat-ceiling with a round built on two pillars in the western part; The circle is cross-arched. The essential part of the equipment is the bell from 1362, which was purchased for the church in 1806 from the abolished monastery church of St. Nicholas. The wall paintings are the work of Czech painter Jan Boška (1854- 1933). The main altar dates back to 1880 and is made in pseudorenesance style. The painting of Saint Anne on the altar of the Virgin Mary under the crust of the early 18th century is possible from the hand of Italian painter Giovanni Francesco Romanelli (1610-1662). The organ from the early 19th century was repaired in 1997.

A rich architectural palette awaits the visitor - from gothic elements to baroque elements to modern modifications. The bell from 1362, wall paintings from Jan Boška, organ equipment from the beginning of the 19th century and altar files from different times are worth paying attention.
