Long Description:
At the place
of the Church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary was originally
located a Gothic church built in the middle of the 14th century.
After several reconstructions, was here built a spacious three-nave
Neo-Romanesque basilica including a tower according to the design
of architect Ludvík Labler in 1897-1899. The new archdeaconary
church, the major Catholic church of Kladno county, was
ceremoniously consecrated on June 6, 1900.
In church's antechapel you can find
figural gravestone of Jirí Ždárský of Ždár, important member of
noble family, in which possesion was Kladno demesne in 1543-1670.
During the second half of the XXth century was church in very bad
shape, but after complete reconstruction in the last years of the
century it glitters once again in its pure Neo-Romanesque beauty.
The church was reconsecrated by Archbishop of Prague, Cardinal M.
