Trinity Church (Klášterec nad Ohří)
The Trinity Church (Czech: Kostel Nejsvětější Trojice ) is the parish church in the historical center of Klášterec nad Ohří . The single-nave early baroque church was consecrated in 1670 and is a listed building.
Architecture and building history
The church was built in the years 1665–1670 under the rule of Michael Oswald von Thun-Hohenstein (1631–1694) according to plans by Carlo Lurago by Rossi de Luca . It was consecrated on September 21, 1670 by Bishop Wenzel von Thun and Hohenstein (1629–1673). It connects to the castle grounds just a few steps from the market square with the town hall and historic town houses and forms an ensemble with the Sala terrena . The Thun and Hohenstein family , new owners in the village as a result of the Thirty Years War , developed a brisk construction activity and put their family crypt near the church, which can be visited. The church is a single-nave early baroque building and has a barrel vault richly decorated with lunettes and has survived several city fires, so most of the furnishings date from the time it was built.
