Mohelnice nad Jizerou, Kostel Nanebevzetí Panny Marie-P1060149p
Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (Mohelnice nad Jizerou, Bohemia)
The Roman Catholic Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Mohelnice nad Jizerou (Mladá Boleslav district) is a stone sacral building from the second half of the 12th century. The church falls under the parish-deanery of Mnichovo Hradiště. In addition to the church itself, a part of the protected area is also the adjacent functional cemetery with a morgue and a wall.
The single-nave church has a rectangular floor plan. It was built by sandstone from Hrubá Skála, the masonry of precisely machined blocks is row-shaped, while each row has a different height. On the west side of the church there is a prismatic tower, on the east there is an apse, inside there is a glass conch. On the north side is a pseudo-Romanesque sacristy and a cross vault, completed during reconstruction in 1876.
The church was restored in 1876 in the spirit of historical purism of the 19th century by the architect Josef Mocker, known for his reconstructions and completions of a number of important medieval monuments, including St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague and Karlštejn Castle. After this purist reconstruction, the original Romanesque church was significantly changed. The windows were modified and enlarged, the ceiling in the nave was replaced, the main entrance to the church was relocated and the floor in the church was raised. Of the original windows, only one small four-leaf rose in the shape of a four-leafed rose, located on the southwest side of the church, has been preserved. During the reconstruction, a new staircase was also built from ground level, making the entrance hall accessible through the entrance from the ground floor of the bell tower on the west side of the church.
