Ceský popis

Prvne se s kostelem sv. Jirí setkáváme v roce 1352, kdy je zmínen v rejstrících papežských desátku. Jeho pravdepodobný vznik se klade do 1. poloviny 14. století. Došlo zde k pozdejšim úpravám v období baroka. Kostel je vzácným pripadem dochované lidové gotické stavby, která je vymalována malbami ponekud rustikálního charakteru. Jejich pravdepodobný vznik je kladen do tretí ctvrtiny 14. století.

Obdélná lod kostela je plochostropá, na niž navazuje užší, prícne protáhlé presbyterium s žebrovou krížovou klenbou. K severní stene presbyteria priléhá valene zaklenutá sakristie.

Recické malby se dochovaly v lodi i presbyteriu. Severní stenu lodi pokrývají výjevy Boje sv. Jirí s drakem, sv. Kryštofa a Umucení sv. Erasma. Vlevo na východní stene se nachází obraz Zázracného rybolovu a vpravo fragment se Smrtí Panny Marie. Knežište obíhá dole úzký pás s postavami proroku a sibyl. V okenní zóne je znázornena rada svetcu, na severu prerušená Ukrižováním a na východe Posledním soudem. Scéna Posledního soudu vrcholí výjevem Krista trunícího na duze, nacházejícím se v klenební kápi. Na klenbe se dále nalézají symboly ctyr evangelistu a vyobrazení slunce a mesíce. V koutech knežište jsou ješte vymalovány ctyri mužské postavy bez svatozárí, pravdepodobne jde o cyklus ctyr živlu.
