kostel Všech svatých (Libočany) Church
The Church of All Saints in Libočany is a Roman Catholic parish temple dedicated to all saints in the Louny district. Since 1964, it has been protected as a cultural monument.
The church was built between 1749 and 1769 Václav Karel Schroll ze Schrollenbergu, owner of the Libočany estate. The construction was created along with the rectory. In the framework of the Programme for the Rescue of Architectural Heritage between 1995 and 2014, the funds were used to repair the construction in the amount of CZK 1.7 million.
It's a building church. The temple is a single-boat - the ship is encapsulated by a complex flat vault, supported by pillars divided by pilasters with laying. On the east side, the ship ends with a three-sided presbytery with a flat vault. A rectangular sacristy is attached to the presbytery on its south side. Two square towers dominate the west front. The facade is cut by pilasters and decorated with rich rocajas. On the building elements - walls, pillars and window lining - the coloured remains of the original decoration were preserved.
The interior of the temples carries rare artistic elements. Illustrative paintings on the main altar and frescoes on the ceilings of the presbytery and the boat were painted by painter Jan Václav Tschöpper. The main altar consists of an illusory architecture with two rococo bans, years and allegories of Christian virtue. In front of him stands a menza with angels and angels. The side altar dedicated to the Prague Jesulka carries statues of St. Wenceslas and St. John Nepomuk. The second side altar is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and accompanied by statues of Saint Elizabeth and Saint Anne. The altar and carving decoration of the organ was created by the mastiff carver Jakub Eberle. The equipment is supplemented by a rococo pulpit, bench and door.
Restoration in the framework of the state protection programme enabled the preservation of the historical character of the construction. The church remains a testament to the artistic ambitions and craft skills of the 18th century.
