Beautiful architecture by Arch. J. B. Santini

One of the best works of the brilliant Czech architect with Italian ancestors, Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel, is one of the most original examples of the so-called Baroque Gothic, that you can see only in Czech. In an incredibly elaborate building a number of symbols and religious and historical messages is hidden. The symbols are dominated by the tongue, the five-pointed star and the number five. The foundation of the church was connected with the forthcoming beatification and canonization of John of Nepomuk. Construction began in 1719, in 1922 the church was consecrated. Tip: if you are not a fan of mass tourism, I recommend special winter visits. In sunny weather, the church and the surrounding countryside have their charms, plus instead of buses full of tourists, there were around twelve of us here. Not only was it time to see everything thoroughly, but even the guide's interpretation did not have to be like machine gun and there was time for conversation as well. Úžasné dílo geniálního českého architekta s italskými předky, Jana Blažeje Santiniho-Aichela, představuje jednu z nejoriginálnějších příkladů tzv. barokní gotiky. V neuvěřitelně propracované stavbě je ukryta celá řada symbolů a náboženských i historických sdělení. Ze symbolů dominuje jazyk, pěticípá hvězda a číslo pět. Založení kostela souviselo s připravovaným blahořečením a svatořečením Jana Nepomuckého. Stavba byla zahájena v roce 1719, v roce 1922 byl kostel vysvěcen. Tip: pokud nepatříte mezi fanoušky masové turistiky, doporučuji zimní prohlídky. Za slunečného počasí má kostel i okolní krajina svoje kouzlo, navíc místo autobusů plných turistů se nás tu sešlo kolem dvanácti účastníků. Nejenže byl čas vše si v klidu prohlédnout, ale i průvodcův výklad nemusel být strojově odrecitován.

The church Zelena hora (Green Mountain) is on the outskirts of the town Zadar nad Sazavou - we had to ask directions at the tourist information office in the town center. It is probably the most important Baroque building in the Czech republic, with a plan of a five pointed star and characterized by complex symbolism related to the cult of Saint John of Nepomuk. While intriguing design, the place felt “empty” and lacked the “warmth and welcoming” associated with a place of worship. The buildings also need attention to prevent deterioration. The cemetery lower down the hill was still well attended and with colorful flowers. Note the church opening months and times: closed from November to March. April & October- Saturday, Sunday only 9 - 17. Don’t miss the visit to the museum and the church next to the lake.

The architecture of this place is something singular. The view also worth the visit, without doubt. When I visited it was in maintenance, so I hope to go again. If you have a drone, it's a perfect place for a great shot from top.
