Otvice - Church of St. Barbara

Information

Visited:12. 9. 2021

History:A small wooden Gothic church probably stood on the site from the mid-14th century. It had to be replaced in 1655 by a new Baroque church according to plans by an unknown author, which was dedicated to St. Barbara. This building was in a very poor technical condition at the end of the 1890s and had to be demolished in 1897. Already in 1902, the foundation stone for a new church in the pseudo-Gothic style was laid here, which was also built according to plans by an author unknown to me, and is still there today. During the period of communist totalitarianism in the second half of the 20th century, the church was devastated and was only opened to the public after partial repairs in 2014. After the repairs, the church was solemnly blessed by Bishop Jan Baxant of Litoměřice on 5 September 2015 and returned to its original liturgical purposes.
