Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary
Czech Republic
which is under the vicarage of Strakonice and diocese of České Budějovice. The Gothic temple was built in 1444–1515 on the site of the original Romanesque church. In front of the church stands a separate bell tower, originally Baroque from 1723, restored in the Neo-Gothic style after a fire. HISTORY The original Romanesque church was founded around 1290 and the vicarage was added a bit later. The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Blatná was built by the family of Lev of Rožmitál in 1444 to 1515 in Gothic style. It was built on the site of the original Romanesque church founded by Bavor family of Strakonice at the end of the 13th century. The upper part was completed in 1444 under Jaroslav Lev of Rožmitál. Then, at the time of his son Zdeněk, Master Staněk added an atrial double nave. The whole church was completed in 1515 and consecrated on September 8th of the same year. The oldest part of the church is the Romanesque sacristy preserved from the previous church. The presbytery was added at the era of Jaroslav Lev of Rožmitál by Master Staněk and his sons in 1414–44. In 1515 the two-nave hall was vaulted with a cellar vault. Along with the atrium double nave was consecrated also the Chapel of St. Michael (later chapel of the Holy Sepulchre), which is also vaulted with a cellar vault. The facades of this chapel were rebuilt in the second half of the 18th century when the cloister arranged by Elizabeth Serényi in 1764 was added. The wooden bell tower by the church was replaced in 1723 by a brick one designed by J. Spinetti. The outside of this bell tower was adapted in a romantic Neo-Gothic reconstruction in 1835-36. It also served as a gateway to the cemetery surrounding the church. The church also features a late Gothic deanery, dating from the 15th century, which was adapted in baroque style in 1720 and rebuilt in 1834 after an extensive fire. This fire also destroyed the town hall, school, hospital and bell tower. The church is 16 m high and 37 m long. In total, there are 9 Gothic windows with a clematis tracery in the church, divided by three rods and each window has a different tracery.

More About Czech Republic

The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.Text by Steve Smith.
