Tips
The parish neo-Gothic church was built between 1855 and 1857 at the instigation of Prince Alois Lichtenstein. The church is characterized by the use of red bricks. However, the real gem lies in the interior of the church, where we can see the monumental Altar of Light. It is a 7-meter-high Gothic wood carving from 1516 - 1525, which was brought to Adamov from the monastery in Zwettl and has no analogues in Europe.
