| Prevalent style | Gothic |
| Short description | Former Romanic church with a canonry, mentioned already in 1238. Bishop Jan from Dražice and archbishop Arnošt from Pardubice established todays Gothic church with two towers on West in 1310-71. Its exteriors still keep their Gothic manner (angle windows, back shores, portal in the Southern side body). |
| Expositions | Interesting exterior and impressive interior that was modified in the Baroque style after 1733 by F. Špaček. Vaults were decorated by V.V. Reiner during 1734-35, stuke decor by B. Spinetti. The main altar created by F.I. Weiss (1734-38). |
| Interesting detail | The church suffered a fire in 1423, but it was immediately reconstructed yet the northern tower wasn't renovated into its original shape - the characteristic silhouette comes from this time. |
| Present condition | Perfect |
