kostel svatého Bartoloměje (Krhovice) Church
The church of St. Bartholomew in Krhovice is a Roman Catholic temple serving the believers as a filial church of the parish Hodonice. Built in the 1960s, it represents a type of small rural church characteristic for the Czech territories of that time.
The construction was built between 1861 and 1862. It was created during the period when the Catholic Church in the Habsburg countries was actively involved in the shaping of rural settlements and their spiritual life.
The exterior of the church is simple rural architecture, it stands in the construction of family houses and is located near the water channel Krhovice-Hevlin, which is a dominant local environment. This geographical location typically characterises churches built in simple and densely populated locations.
The interior of the temple bears traces of its original features. The priestess is equipped with a sacrifice table and a main altar with a sanctuary above which stands the altar painting of St. Bartholomew, who is dedicated to the church. The walls of the church decorate the painted cross path, which leads the believer through the spiral of the relevant provisions. Other elements of the equipment include wooden desks for believers and organ placed on the bark. It is this combination of elements - altar, cross road and musical instrument - that speaks of traditional craftsmanship dedicated to these smaller rural temples.
The church is a testament to the way in which the second half of the 19th century in Czech villages was manifested both in the material architecture and in the care of the spiritual life of the local community. A visitor who walks through his door awaits a meeting with an authentic environment that has not changed substantially since its construction.
