Kostel Všech svatých

Nice.

Not only the church is interesting, but also the cemetery around. The church was designed by the Dientzenhofers and, like other Broumov churches, is one of the Czech Baroque pearls.

Genius loci at the foot of the Javoří Mountains, Dientzenhofer's work from the group of Broumov churches, old graves - as witnesses of the past.

Church of All Saints in Heřmánkovice belongs to the Broumov group of Baroque churches. It is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. The project of the present church was probably built in 1720 by Kryštof Dientzenhofer and in 1722-1726 the church was built by his son Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer. The construction of the church was initiated by Broumov abbot Otmar Daniel Zinke. The rough construction was completed and sanctified in 1723, and another three years still worked on completing and finishing interior modifications. The church has a plan of an elongated octagon with concave curved walls. There is a prism tower with rounded corners, and at the end of the ship there is a narrow chancel, behind which is a rectangular sacristy. The ceiling of the church is painted with a view of the heavens, in the semicircular fields there are paintings of four evangelists and angels in elliptical wreaths. The original painting arose soon after the church was built, but it was repainted in 1865. The interior was from the Baroque and Empire era, but the valuable furniture had to be evicted and safely saved due to the increase of the thefts in the Broumov churches after 1990. In close proximity to the chateau church also preserved the original baroque parsonage. Circumstances and exact dating of its origin are not known, but the form and quality of the construction is complemented by the building of the marquee next to the standing structure of Dientzenhofer's church. At present, this valuable monument is in a very poor condition.

Beautiful place
