Description
We perceive churches in the Czech landscape as a given: they stand in almost every village, dominating squares and city panoramas. For believers, the church is a place of spiritual rest. However, it is also a cultural treasure, a unique collection of peak creative achievements of its time and place. Presenting this wealth to readers in a single book was a challenging task. From a total of more than seven thousand churches and chapels, it was necessary to select just one hundred to represent this vast number across a millennium. Perhaps our book will take you to more than one of the selected places. Because it is there that the unique genius loci awaits, the spirit of the place, which is always an unmistakable sum of sacred reverence and admirable artistic elevation.
