kostel Všech svatých (Dobromilice) Church
The Church of All Saints in Dobromilice is a significant Baroque church located in the Prostějov District, approximately 5 kilometers northwest of Němčice nad Hanou. This architectural treasure has a rich history dating back to the 13th century, with a Romanesque predecessor on the site. The current building was rebuilt in the 16th century and underwent significant changes in the 18th century, making it a notable landmark in the region.
The church's history began with a Romanesque predecessor, likely built in the second half of the 13th century. The current building was rebuilt in the 16th century by the Žalkovští ze Žalkovic family, who were significant landowners in the region. They initiated a Renaissance-style renovation, completed in 1592, as evidenced by a commemorative inscription in the sacristy. The church also served as a family tomb, where Marta Žalkovská ze Žalkovic (died 1564), her husband Matyáš Žalkovský ze Žalkovic (died 1590), their son Jan Žalkovský ze Žalkovic (died after 1614), and his wife Anežka Bítovská ze Slavíkovic (died 1609) were buried.
The church's architecture is a single-nave design with a sacristy and a tower featuring a Baroque belfry. The interior is decorated with a monumental altar and a Renaissance pulpit, adorned with the coats of arms of Jan Žalkovský ze Žalkovic and Anežka Bítovská ze Slavíkovic. The church also features a Baroque belfry and a Renaissance-style sacristy. The exterior facades, excluding the sacristy facades, have high windows with segmental arches.
In the 18th century, the Kořenští z Terešova family, influential landowners in the region, undertook significant changes to the church. František hrabě Kořenský z Terešova initiated a major renovation, completed in 1762. The church was damaged during World War II and underwent restoration in 1947.
The church has a rich history, with various events taking place within its walls. In 1669, the church was re-established as a parish church. The Kořenští z Terešova family acquired the church in 1737, and František hrabě Kořenský z Terešova initiated a major renovation in 1762. A tower with a bell and clock was built in 1817, and new organs were purchased in 1886. Two new bells were acquired in 1967, and the church underwent restoration in 1992.
Today, the Church of All Saints in Dobromilice is a significant cultural and historical landmark in the region. The church is surrounded by a historic cemetery and a hrobka of the Bukůvků z Bukůvky family. Visitors can admire the church's architectural beauty and learn about its rich history.

The Church of All Saints in Dobromilice, approximately five kilometers northwest of Němčic nad Hanou, is a parish church and has been a protected cultural monument since 1958. Today it has a Baroque appearance, but its origins are much older.
A Late Romanesque church stood on this site, most likely from the middle of the thirteenth century. Its remains were found in the area of the chancel and sacristy. At the end of the sixteenth century, the knights the Žalkovskis from Žalkovice, the then owners of the estate, initiated an expensive Renaissance reconstruction. It was completed in 1592, as a commemorative inscription in the masonry of the sacristy reminds us. The church then became the family tomb of the Žalkovskis.
In 1614 the Žalkovskis sold Dobromilice to Jiří Flodt z Bokštejna. He became involved in the Estates' Revolt and after 1620 lost the estate. Two years later a fire struck the church. The village then fell under the care of the parish in nearby Otaslavice and the church ceased to be used. Dobromilice received its own priest again only in 1669.
The Kořenskis from Terešov, who owned Dobromilice from 1737, initiated another major reconstruction. It was completed in 1762. Count František Kořenský had the interior completely redesigned and acquired a monumental high altar with a painting of All Saints by the painter František Antonín Sebastini. The bell tower with bells and a clock was added only in 1817 and was built by Countess Marie Anna Clam-Martinicová.
Both world wars deprived the church of most of its bells. Only the bell called Jesus, cast in 1623, remained. At the end of the Second World War, an aerial bomb damaged the area around the church, destroying the external staircase and a stone cross. The damage was repaired by a general restoration completed in 1947.
The church is a single-nave hall building on a rectangular ground plan. Two tall square-shaped chapels stand on either side of the nave, and two sacristies adjoin the southern and eastern sides. The western façade is dominated by a prismatic bell tower crowned with a Baroque dome. Inside, the altar of All Saints dominates, and there is a Renaissance stone pulpit with the coats of arms of Jan Žalkovský ze Žalkovic and his wife Anežka Bítovská ze Slavíkovic.
Right next to the church stands a historicizing funeral chapel with a tomb of the noble family Bukůvků z Bukůvky from the seventies of the nineteenth century. Around it remained an open space with the remains of the former cemetery.
