When almost the entire city of Most had to give way to lignite mining in the 1970s, the church was also in danger. Therefore, in 1975, it was moved to a safe place. The procession of the church began on 30 September 1975 and lasted until 27 October. During this time she covered exactly a distance of 841.1 meters. The transport was a daring and technically highly interesting undertaking. With the help of a hydraulic undercarriage, which compensated for height variations of the church that arose on rough terrain, hydraulic cylinders and a complicated steel construction, the church was moved to its new location at an average speed of 2.16 cm per minute. There it was rebuilt and restored until 1988.

It sure was a stunner; Unfortunately, the church is BEFORE the city and has no relation to the city.
