Kostel svatého Klimenta (Lipůvka) Church
Objekt se nedochoval — na místě dnes nestojí. Následující text popisuje jeho historii, ne současnou návštěvu.
The church of St. Kliment was founded in the middle of the 13th century and was dedicated to the fourth Pope Kliment. The construction had a simple, efficient structure: a rectangular ship, which was closed by apsis on the east side, and a square tower was raised in the west. This floor plan was typical of the county churches of its time - massive, without unnecessary ornaments, designed to serve the local parish.
The church wasn't alone. There was a live settlement with a cemetery around it, where generations took turns. But this rural life had cycles and relocation. In the 15th century the settlement began to move in the eastern direction, although the temple itself remained in place and continued to serve the community. In 1655, it was buried and functioned as the mental center of the neighborhood.
The beginning of the end came gradually. In 1724 the church went through repair - the last attempt to keep it alive. But in 1787, it was officially abolished along with the cemetery. His position was taken over by the church of Saint Cecilia, which became the new parish centre for Lipovka. For the old sanctuary began the time of decline.
Fate met him in the wars of Naples. In 1811, the building was used as an observer - an iron seducer of military strategy. After the wars passed and the roofs fell, he was only a quarry. The people carried a brick and stone from it to their buildings, until there was a scythe in the landscape.
Today there is nothing but memory in the place of the former church. Two crosses stand where stone walls once reached, reminding visitors that believers once came here with joy and sorrow. The church of St. Kliment tells the story of change - how the landscape transforms, how the settlements shift, how the places that were vital at the time cease to exist. It's a lesson in stone, or rather in his absence.

At Lipůvka there once stood the Church of Saint Clement. Today it no longer exists and its location is remembered only by two crosses.
The church was built in the middle of the thirteenth century and was dedicated to Saint Clement, the fourth pope. It consisted of a rectangular nave, with an apse adjoining it on the eastern side and a square tower on the western side. A cemetery and a settlement stretched around the church. In the fifteenth century, the settlement moved eastward.
People were still buried at the church in the year sixteen fifty-five. In seventeen twenty-four the building underwent repairs. It was only in seventeen eighty-seven that the church was decommissioned along with the cemetery, and its role was taken over by the Church of Saint Cecilia in Lipůvce.
However, the old church was put to use one more time. In eighteen eleven, during the Napoleonic Wars, it served as an observation post. In the following years, only a ruin remained of it and people took building material from it.
For kids
Imagine going back to when Lipůvka was a small village at the foot of the top. The Church of St. Kliment was her heart, a place where people came to pray and celebrate. How did it look here? There were people living here who lived from the ground, kept animals and ran business. The village was full of life, sounds and smell.
It was like a small town in the media! The church of St. Kliment was the dominant of the village, its turret held high above the trees. People came to church for their religious ceremonies to remember important days and events.
