Description

The original Church of Saint Bartholomew was built in 1295 and destroyed during the Hussite Wars. The today's Church of Saint Bartholomew was built together with a monastery in 1507–1514. It was used as a burial place of the Pernštejn family. In the interior there is a valuable main altar with the painting 'The Passion of St. Bartholomew' from 1692 by Michael Willmann and a painting decoration by Mikoláš Aleš.
