Kostel Všech svatých (Probluz) Church
The Baroque Church of All Saints in Probluz is a notable historical monument situated in the village of Probluz, part of the Dolní Přím municipality in the Hradec Králové District. Built between 1690 and 1691 by the Jesuits, this church is a dominant feature of the surrounding landscape and has a rich history tied to the Battle of Hradec Králové. The church's tower was damaged during the battle, with two cannonballs still embedded in its facade.
The Church of All Saints in Probluz was constructed as a parish church by the Jesuits, who were active in Bohemia during the 17th century. The church's construction was led by K. Labuška, a builder who worked on several projects for the Jesuits. The church served as a place of worship for the local community.
The church's architecture is characteristic of the Baroque style, featuring a single-nave building with a rectangular nave, a rectangular presbytery, a sacristy on the north side, and a square tower on the west side. The roof is covered with two vaulted ceilings, and the interior is decorated with early Baroque furnishings from the late 17th century. The main altar is a rectangular altar with a rosette, featuring an image of All Saints from 1690. Two side altars have acanthus-leaf adorned oval frames.
The church's tower bears the scars of the Battle of Hradec Králové, a significant event in Czech history that took place in 1866. The church underwent restoration work after the battle, during which the tower was lowered. The church's interior features a pulpit with bolt-shaped ornaments and a sculpture of Christ as the Savior of the World from 1690.
Today, the Church of All Saints in Probluz is a filial church of the Nechanice parish and is worth visiting for its historical significance and architectural beauty. The church is situated in a rural area with fields and forests, offering a peaceful atmosphere. Visitors can explore the church's interior and exterior, taking in the details of its Baroque architecture and the remnants of its history.

The Baroque Church of All Saints stands in the village of Probluz, which is a local part of the municipality of Dolní Přím in the Hradec Králové district. It is a far-visible landmark of the entire surrounding area.
It was built in the years 1690 to 1691 as a parish church. The construction was led by Labuška, the superior of the Jesuits and also a builder. Today the church is a filial church of the Nechanice parish.
The Battle of Hradec Králové on July 3, 1866 significantly impacted its history. During it, the original dome of the church tower was damaged. The tower was lowered during subsequent repairs and two cannonballs are walled into its facade to this day. The battle is also commemorated by monuments to the fallen in the old cemetery around the church, which is no longer in use. On the outer wall of the church are mounted two funeral stones, a figural one from 1566 and a heraldic one from 1575.
The church is single-aisled. The rectangular nave is divided by pillars with clustered pilasters and is vaulted with two sections of barrel vault. The nave is followed by a rectangular presbytery. On the northern side stands a rectangular sacristy and on the western side a prismatic tower.
The furnishings of the church are early Baroque from the end of the 17th century. The main altar is rectangular, decorated with scrollwork, and bears a painting of All Saints from 1690. On consoles are placed statues of Saint Wenceslaus and Saint Ludmila from the years 1730 to 1740. The altar is complemented by a Rococo wooden carving of the Death of Saint Ignatius of Loyola with two donors. Beside the main altar are two side altars with oval acanthus frames. In the right one is a painting of Saint Ignatius, in the left one a painting of the Holy Family with Saint Anne.
The pulpit is decorated with boltwork ornaments. On its canopy stands a statue of Christ as Saviour of the World from 1690.
