Dřevěný kostel sv. Jana Křtitele (The wooden Church of St John the Baptist), Slavoňov

Nové Město nad Metují
This unique all-wood stave church was built in 1533.
The Slavoňov church is a very popular monument visited by tourists, not only domestically, but also abroad. It is interesting to note that ever since its construction in 1553 the church has not ceased to fulfil its original function. The Renaissance bell tower, the top of which was not damaged, is original and therefore older than the current church. The church is an important monument of the whole region and is very popular not only among believers but also history lovers.
