Located in the eastern part of the Lower Square (one of the two main squares in the historic center of the city), the St. Adalbert Church is a majestic Baroque church built between 1675 and 1681. Adalbert is the English version of the Czech name "Vojtech" so the Czech name of the church is "Kostel Sv. Vojtecha" (= St. Vojtech Church).

Listed as one of the Czech Cultural Monuments, the church is adjacent to the Opava State Archiv (the building on the right), the third oldest and third largest archive in the Czech Republic.

It looks to be a very beautiful church @phortun. Were the photographs taken on different days?
Thanks :) Yes, the photos were taken on different days :)
Such beautiful work. I am always amazed by the time and care spent on the old architecture. If we could keep some of the same principles, combined with the technology, imagine what we could create.
Thats right. Very good point :)
Ani jsem nevěděl, že máte v Opavě takový hezký kostel :)
Máme tu spoustu krásných staveb :) Se někdy přijeď podívat ;)
Můj kámoš u Vás kdysi měl holku 😊
