Information

The Church of the Corpus Christi in Jablunkov, built in 1620, is a remarkable example of late Renaissance and early Baroque. Originally a Renaissance building, it was later rebuilt in the Gothic Revival style. The church has a rich and dramatic history; in the 16th century it was temporarily controlled by Lutherans before becoming permanently Catholic in 1615. The church was consecrated to Corpus Christi in 1652 and is still the centre of important religious celebrations, including processions and services on Corpus Christi.

Over the centuries, the church has been damaged by fire several times, but has always been rebuilt. In 1931, it was extended with a transept and presbytery designed by the architect Jaroslav Oplt from Brno, adding another layer of architectural complexity. The church tower, one of the symbols of Jablunkov, has remained unchanged for centuries and offers a view of the city that has hardly changed during that time.
