Ort
The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is a parish church in the Roman Catholic parish of Vranov nad Dyjí, located in the centre of the town of Vranov nad Dyjí. It is a late Romanesque building later rebuilt in the Gothic style. The church is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic as part of the complex of the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary with the rectory. The church was built in the first half of the 13th century and was later further extended. The church in its original form was plundered by the Swedes in 1645 and only its foundations remained, which are preserved in the foundations of the walls of the present church. The church was newly built in 1685 with the support of the noble Althann family, who continued to support the church in subsequent years. Among other things, Countess Maria Anna Althann donated an altarpiece of the Virgin Mary to the church. Around 1700 the nave was vaulted, around 1720 the original tower was demolished and in 1720 a new masonry tower was built. In 1767 the roof was repaired and in 1778 the choir was vaulted. Between 1781 and 1782 the cemetery wall was repaired and a year later a watchman’s house was built, which was converted into an ossuary after 1800 - but was soon demolished. In the 1930s the church was repaired, between 1933 and 1934 the surroundings of the church were repaired and in 1936 the interior was repaired. In 1957 a paraffin stove was installed in the church, in 1958 the church was painted and in 1968 and 1969 the roof of the sacristy and the chancel were gradually reconstructed. In 1986 the roof of the church was repaired again.
