kostel svaté Anny (Boršov) Church
St. Anne's Church is on the right side of the Silver Brook in Boršov, which is now the urban part of Moravian Třebová. This is a Gothic building, which was gradually baroque and expanded. The exact date of its creation is not known, but it is assumed to come from the 13th century. At that time, it was a single-boat church with a massive tower, which researchers probably attribute to defence. In an uninhabited presbytery, the vault from this early period has been preserved.
The fundamental transformation of the church took place in 1724 when the shield wall began to collapse. The shield wall was demolished and rebuilt a bit wider, while a ratchet ceiling was set above the ship. That was when the stone tower above the presbytery was built, and two years later, in 1726, a Baroque pit was mounted on it. In 1768, the tower went through a further increase and received an onion pit with a lantern that gave it today's silhouette. The recovery took place in 1805. The church grew also in the nineteenth century: in 1853 it was extended with a chapel and hall, in 1879 the roof cover of the boat and tower was repaired. At the beginning of the 20th century, in 1905, the windows were deepened, the sacristy was overpatted, two new windows were added under the crust and a new entrance.
The interior of the church carries traces of modifications from various epoch. The main altar dates back to 1831, the painting of the interior took place in 1860. The organ was acquired in 1884 by Riegr from Krnova. The marble tile was paved for construction in 1899. On the ceiling there is a painting of the Mother of God by the Moravian-Třebov painter Tauschinski from 1937. The most significant finding of the last decades was the discovery of Gothic wall paintings in the priesthood of 2002. In 1947 the original bell was returned to the temple, cast already in 1509.
The church is a one-boat building with a rectangular plan. In the eastern part is dominated by a massive tower with onion beating and lantern. There is a snail staircase in the south, an extension of the 19th century chapel in the north.
The church is situated in the cemetery area and a covered staircase built in 1849 leads to its entrance, whose construction was paid for by the municipality for 600 gold pieces. In the south wall of the staircase there is a sculpture with the theme of the Olivet Mountain; There is a statue of St. John Nepomuk across from the entrance to the staircase. Whoever comes here will find a place that speaks for 700 years of continuous spiritual and building life in this part of Moravia.
