Neo-Renaissance Church of St. Adalbert (Kostel Sv. Vojtecha), parish church of Roman Catholic parish in Príbram-Brezové Hory, is a principal landmark of this former independent historic mining town.
Church of St. Adalbert, built for fastly growing mining community of Royal mining town Brezové Hory in 1887-1889, was ceremonially consecrated by Archbishop of Prague František de Paula, Cardinal Schönborn on September 21, 1890. Church was designed in neo-Renaissance style with touch of neo-Romanesque architecture by architect Bedrich Münzberger. St. Adalbert is church of basilical form (nave with two aisles) with rectangular chancel enclosed by apse and with high prismatic bell tower. The front facade tympanum is decorated by beautiful polychromed relief of Our Lady with Infant Jesus, St. Wenceslaus and St. Procopius. Jesus is holding in hand the silver birch twig symbolising the town Brezove Hory (Birch Hills). The main altar is consecrated to St. Adalbert, left side altar to Our Lady, and the right one to St. Wenceslaus.
