Kostel Všech svatých (Vyšehorky) Church

The Church of All Saints is one of the oldest and most valuable buildings in the region. According to the construction-historical survey, it was built during the second half of the 13th century when it was built as a small one-ship temple. Its construction took place gradually in several stages and was completed in the 1940s by adding a side boat with a tower and subsedition. The first written mention of the village and church appeared only in 1369 in the papers, although the construction probably existed longer.

In the oldest times, the church belonged together with all the Vyšehorky owners of the hazel farm. Since 1494 he became the property of Haugvický of Biškác. During the 16th century, more owners were in his possession, until he reached the hands of the Kobylks of Kobyli, known for his support to the Protestant faith. Their property was confiscated after the defeat of the state uprising, and so Olomouc Bishop František z Dietrichštejna took over the church. In the period of reCatholisation, Mohelnice was handed over to the parish in 1636. The parish was not restored until 1663.

The construction itself has undergone gradual changes. At the beginning of the 15th century, the sacristy was connected with a stone vaulted vault on the north side of the ship's connection and presbytery. From the 17th century comes another southern sacristy attached to the tower. The baroque reconstruction in 1768, when the ceiling was adjusted, a triumphant arch was picked up and a circle with a bowling ball was set up. The facade of the tower is carried by a sandstone portal with engraved year MDXXIX and the characteristics of masonry tools.

For centuries, the church stood in the middle of the village, originally surrounded by a wall that was partially damaged during the First World War; only a part of the baroque gate survived. In the space between the wall and the church he found his last rest village cemetery until 1879. Between the entrance gate and the church stands a sandstone cross from 1807 with the body of Christ.

The fatal twist came on July 8, 1957, when lightning struck the church and set it on fire. The roof with bell tower and wooden setting of the bell tower completely burned, as well as almost all inventory, including two bells from the beginning of the 16th century. After this disaster, the roof was replaced by shingles cover and in the 1960s, a building-historical survey and restoration research of wall paintings were carried out.

The extensive reconstruction came only in 1994, when an archaeological survey of the interior was carried out. It found a ceramic container from the second half of the 13th century and construction fittings to attest to the real age of the construction. There were restored wall paintings, laid new tiles, assembled new wooden bark and opened gothic windows that were walled up during the Baroque period. The restoration was completed in 1997, when the church was reconsecrated. Since 1964, the whole area - a church with a gate, a fenced wall and a stone cross - has been listed on the list of cultural monuments.
