Kostel svaté Anny (Jeřmanice) Church
The church of St. Anne stands at the cemetery in Jermanice and has acquired its present appearance in 1812-1816. The project was developed by builder J. Brauner from Smržovka, and the building was connected to an older chapel from 1760-1764 - part of its equipment was preserved to this day and forms the most valuable component of the interior. Since 1966, the church has been registered as a cultural monument.
The building has a rectangular, so-called unoriented floor plan, which means that its axis does not go liturgically east. It's a one-ship construction of three axes with a half-circle priesthood. The dominant element of the facade is the massive prism tower; The date 1819 is carved on her portal, which shows that the tower was completed a little later than the ship itself. The interior overlaps the segmental rolled vault, the presbytery is encapsulated by a condom and the circle is wooden.
The heart of the church is the main altar of the portal, the column type. It is decorated with artistically valuable sculptures of St. Peter and St. Paul, which are apparently the work of J. Hájek of Munich Hradiště from 1764 and come from the old chapel. The altar painting of the Holy Family was created during the construction of the church and painted by F. Leubner of Liberec. The side altar is rococo; His central motive is the painting of the Virgin Mary by Johann Gruss of Litoměřice from 1841, set in frame by I. Ehrlich. The pulpit bears the same artistic concept as the statues of the main altar, i.e. Hájka's hand. The organ are empirical and dates back to 1816, i.e. directly from the time of construction.
In the ship hang pictures of St. Mary Magdalena, St. Catherine and St. John Nepomuk dated approximately 1836. The painting of St. Anthony from 1852 is the work of I. Muller from Rychnov and is one of the youngest artistic additions to the interior.
The church visit is accompanied by a stop near the nearby baroque torture of God with the column chapel of St. John Nepomuk from 1752, which stands in the immediate vicinity of the building and completes the historical nature of the place. For an inquisitive tourist, the church in Jermanice is particularly interesting as proof of continuity - in a new 19th-century building, works of art survive from the previous sacral space and form a whole that goes beyond mere regional architecture.

The Roman Catholic parish church of Saint Anna in Jeřmanicích was built at the local cemetery between 1812 and 1816. The plan was prepared by builder Brauner from Smržovka. A older chapel from 1760 to 1764 was incorporated into the new structure. Since 1966, the church has been protected as a cultural monument.
It is a rectangular single-nave building with three axes. It is not oriented, so the chancel does not face east as is customary for churches. The chancel has a semicircular shape and is vaulted with a conch. The nave is covered with a segmented barrel vault and the musical gallery is wooden. The façade is dominated by a massive prismatic tower. The year 1819 is marked on its portal.
The most valuable decoration is carried by the main altar. It is a portal altar with columns, and on it stand artistically valuable statues of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. They come from the original sacred space. They are apparently the work of sculptor Hájek from Mnichov Hradiště from 1764. The pulpit is conceived in the same spirit. The altar painting of the Holy Family was created during the construction of the church. It was painted by Leubner from Liberec.
The side altar is Rococo. On it is a painting of Our Lady of Perpetual Help by Johann Gruss from Litoměřice from 1841, set in a frame by Ehrlich. The Empire-style organ comes from 1816, from the time of the completion of the building. In the nave hang paintings of Saint Mary Magdalene, Saint Catherine and Saint John of Nepomuk, painted around 1836. A painting of Saint Anthony from 1852 is the work of painter Müller from Rychnov.
Not far from the church stands a Baroque wayside shrine with a columned chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk. They date from 1752, and are thus older than the chapel from which the church grew.

For kids
Imagine going back to a time when fewer people lived in the world and the country was full of forests and rivers. Up to one place where there are now small villages in Bohemia - a Yermanic village.
It was like in a game where all the villagers gathered at St. Anne's church, which was standing in a place where the same church was standing today. But he was much older then, and he looked very different than he did today. The church was built in the 14th century, which is really old.

Seasonal recommendations
Spring The spring at St. Anne's Church offers a unique atmosphere where the sun's rays penetrate glass windows and illuminate the inner spaces with golden light. Around the church is awakening to life - spring flowers flourish and the forests around Jermanice are green. The interior of the church, surrounded by old stone elements, then excels in contrast to clear outdoor nature. The ideal time for visiting is after the rain, when the air smells of moisture and earth, and the church bell spreads cleaner and brighter. I recommend to come early in the morning when the place is quiet and the light falls directly on the altar. Light clothes are suitable, but prepare an umbrella too - spring weather is unpredictable.
Summer In the summer months, St. Anne's church attracts its cold and calm before the heat of the surrounding fields and forests. The sun does not penetrate here as intensely as it does outside, and therefore the interior is pleasantly illuminated but unheated. The surrounding area of the church will turn into a green oasis, where you can walk the surrounding roads or relax in the meadows. The best time to visit is early in the morning or after the 15th hour, when you avoid crowds of tourists who come here to visit nature and the monument. Suitable is light, but covering clothing - the sun can be strong here, and in the countryside there is often light wind.
Autumn The autumn visit to St. Anne's church is magical, as the surrounding forests are painted in golden and red shades, while the church stands like a dark oasis of peace. The sun is no longer so high, and therefore its rays illuminate the church interior from one side, creating long shadows and a mysterious atmosphere. The interior then rises to a depth where old stone elements and wood elements stand out in softer light. The ideal time is after 10:00, when you avoid morning fog and visitors. I recommend warmer clothes - autumn winds can be cold, and in the country they cool quickly. Don't miss the surrounding forests that are the most beautiful these days.
Winter The winter visit to St. Anne's Church offers peace and quiet, which is rare at this time. The snow cover surrounds the church with a white landscape while the interior remains warm and cozy. The sun shines only briefly and low here, and therefore the church spaces are lit with a fine, scattered light that highlights the old stone details. The best time to visit is in the afternoon when the lights are out and the crowds are smaller. Hot clothes are suitable - it can be cold outside, and strong wind blows in the countryside. Don't miss the surrounding landscape that turns into a winter fairy tale.
