📍 Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary

About the venue

The early Baroque pilgrimage church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was built in 1695-1700 at the initiative of Tobias Jan Becker, a native of Králíky who later became Bishop of Hradec Králové. The three-nave basilica with a twin-towered façade stands on Hora Matky Boží (Mother of God Hill), about 1.5 km from Králíky, and serves as the main pilgrimage site of the Diocese of Hradec Králové. After a lightning fire in 1846 destroyed the original furnishings, the interior was refitted in neo-Renaissance style between 1883 and 1907. The entire complex was declared a national cultural monument in 2018.
