Tips
The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was built in 1747 on the site of a former fraternal school and parish. The church is built in the Italian Baroque style. The main altar was built at the expense of Count František Magnis, who was buried under it. Above the altar is the miraculous image of the Virgin Mary of Strážnice, the rare work of an unknown artist from Milan from 1630. The image was also donated by František Magnis. Above the presbytery is a recently discovered 18th century fresco (Assumption of the Virgin Mary). The oldest work in the church is a Gothic wooden statue of the Virgin Mary of unknown origin.
