CZ: 

  • Kostel Panny Marie pomocné z hvezdy predstavuje na Šumave jednou z nejvýznamejších památek barokní architektury.

  • Byl postaven v letech 1729-1732 na míste nekdejší kaple.

  • Zvláštností kostela je netypický pudorys ve tvaru šesticípé hvezdy a veliká kopule, která pripomíná obrí cibuli.

  • Roku 1777 byla ke kostelu pristavena zvonice s novým hlavním vchodem. Na této veži také našel své místo hodinový stroj.

  • Mezi léty 1995-1998 prošel kostel nárocnou rekonstrukcí, pri níž byl na vež umísten nový hodinový stroj s bicím mechanismem a zvonem.

EN:

  • The Church of Virgin Mary the helper from the star is magnum opus of baroque architecture in Sumava mountain range.

  • The Church was built in in 1729 – 1732 and is located in the place of an old chapel.

  • Strangeness of this building is the uncommon ground plan in the shape of a six-pointed star and also big cupola, which looks like a giant onion.

  • Bell tower with the new main entrance was built in 1777. The church clock is a part of this tower.

  • In 1995-1998 the church was restored. During this renovation the tower got new clockwork and bell.
