    A small but fine church, rather inconspicuous from the outside, even if the large dome is of course very striking. From the inside then baroque, but not too overloaded. Unfortunately, you can only visit the church from the entrance, to protect the interior, a large lattice has been built in here.

      At the request and expense of Count Wolf Jindřich Nothaf von Wernberg, it was built in Baroque style in the years 1729-1732 on the site of the original chapel. Its distinctive features include a six-pointed star plan and two single-star domes - the church is dedicated to Our Lady, Helper of the Stars.

        The baroque parish church "Maria Hilf vom Stern" with the striking onion dome is the landmark of Zelezná Ruda!
