Depicted family CoA of Engel von Engelsfluß (Engelové z Engelsflussu) is located above entrance portal of small Baroque church of St. Mary Magdalene (Kostel Sv. Márí Magdaleny) situated on the top of Skalka hill above town Mníšek pod Brdy.
The CoA assigns donation of Servatius Engel (Jr.) of Engelsfluß, the son of rich Prague' burgher and war-upstart Servatius Engel(born in Maastricht, 1580–1658). Engel Senior, a hero of Prague' defense against Swedish Army during Thirty Years War, was promoted into Bohemian nobility with predicate "z Engelsflussu" (von/of Engelsfluß) in 1651.
The Church of St. Mary Magdalene, build by a prominent Bohemian Baroque architect Kryštof Dientzenhofer in years 1692-1693, belongs among fine examples of radical Baroque style typical for Czech lands.
