Ort
The Church of the Holy Trinity is a Roman Catholic church in the market town of Drnholec, Břeclav district. The late Baroque building, designed by architect František Antonín Grimm, was built between 1750 and 1757. It replaced an older Gothic church, which was subsequently converted into a rectory. The church serves as the parish church of the Drnholec parish and is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. The church is a single-nave, oriented building with a cross-shaped ground plan, with a rectangular nave slightly extended by short arms on the sides. The eastern side of the nave is closed by a segmental chancel, supplemented on the sides by square sacristy and chapel buildings, with oratories on the upper floor. The western part of the nave is closed by a facade with the main entrance, supplemented on the sides by a twin tower with bell towers. The facade of the western front is covered by pilasters supporting a risalit topped by a triangular gable. Above the entrance portal is a balcony window. Other windows are broken through in the side walls of the nave and in the chancel. The facades of the church are divided by corner pilaster strips. A massive dividing cornice runs around the building at roof level. The main altar of the church is contemporary, with sculptural decoration by Ondřej Schweigl. In the middle of it is a painting of the Holy Trinity by Josef Stern, with statues of Saints Cyril and Methodius on the sides. In the nave there are two opposing retable altars with paintings by Josef Stern. The wall-mounted pulpit, baptismal font and organ case are also original. In the towers hang a large bell from 1829, and two smaller bells from 1919.
