Kostel svatého Petra a Pavla Church
Kostel svatého Petra a Pavla in Albrechtice is a wooden Roman Catholic building with a history dating back to the 18th century. It's protected as a cultural monument. This object replaced an older wooden church with an unknown initiation. Religious services are held here today only exceptionally. Interior equipment has been moved to a new temple of the same initiation.
The first mention of the family church in Albrechtice dates back to 1447. There were few reports from the pre-reform period, but it is known that he was later in the use of Lutherans. They took him away from them in 1654. Visitors assumed the initiation of St. Michael's, because you fed it and lived on Sunday after his holiday. The construction was decrepit at the time and often followed by floods. In 1766, the church had to be torn down for further flooding and rot. In the same year, the carpenter Jan Glombek built a new building, which stands here today.
The architecture of the church is simple and functional. It has a rectangular plan with a three-sided finish. The grafted structure is beaten from the outside with vertical plates, the contact surfaces of which are covered by lazing. The roof is saddle and covered with shingles. A significant element is the grafted tower, which is atypical for traditional stenary structures. The tower ends with an onion roof, originally metal and now covered with shingles.
Repeated floods in the past threatened the construction and led to its demolishment in 1766. Then the carpenter Jan Glombek built a new church. Between 1935 and 1938 a new brick temple was built in the village, thus losing the older object in importance. Because of the theft, his inventory was transferred to a new church.
Kostel svatého Petra a Pavla in Albrechtice is today a protected cultural monument. Although services are rarely held in it, its simple architecture and history make it an interesting destination for visitors. Visiting this monument allows you to appreciate the architecture of past times, even if the construction no longer fully meets its original function.
