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.

One of the most charming medieval churches in the Gemer region is preserved in the village of Chyžné, near Jelšava. Its tall east-oriented brick gable and massive fortifications around the church dominates its surroundings. The church was built in the second half of the 13th century as a one-nave edifice with a quadratic chancel and an annexed sacristy. Later, a detached belltower, a traditional wooden construction from the 18th century, and a groundfloor building of a former school were added. The church chancel is vaulted by a cross ribbed vault, and the nave has a flat painted ceiling. The walls and vaults of the chancel, including the so-called Triumphal Arch, are covered with frescos dating back to the 70s-80s of the 14th century.

Ruins of a medieval fortified church are located above the village of Lúčka, situated at the border of the Slovenské rudohorie mountain range and the national park of Slovenský kras. The village had been known since 1409 as part of the Turňa Castle Estate donated to Pál Besen by King Sigismund.

According to the testimony provided by the local church, however, the village dates back to at least the half of the 13th century. The church itself was built as an early-Gothic church of the Gemer style. In the first half of the 15th century, it was surrounded by a defensive stone wall with a watchtower situated in the front. The small fortress was captured by Jan Jiskra’s troopsand is commonly called the Hussite church by the locals. Only the external walls of the church and the considerably lowered defensive wall with the tower that later on served as a belfry have been preserved up to the present. The quadratic tower used to have two floors in the past, with three windows on the first floor and three loopholes on the ground floor that served to watch the surroundings and to protect the fortress from three sides: the west, the south, and the east. The top of the slope upon which the church was built provided for the natural protection from the north.

The area where the church stands counts among the ecologically cleanest territories in Slovakia. It provides for exceptionally good conditions for recreationin a peaceful natural setting and for short walks in the basin of the Čremošná, to the lake of Lúčka, as well as to the surrounding beech and fir forests. Moreover, the unique natural reserve of Zádielska dolina is located in close distance, lined with plateaux where traces of fortified prehistoric settlements were confirmed by archaeological surveys.
