The church, visible from afar, is located on a hill in the center of Zbyslav. The church is surrounded by a cemetery. A cranked staircase with statues of Sts leads to the south-west facing main facade. Adalbert and Prokop and two angels from the middle of the 18th century.
description
The single-nave building has two mighty towers with clapboard-covered onion domes on either side of the main facade . To the side of the choir are the sacristy and the oratory in the back . The church facade is structured by pilasters and profiled cornices .
The altar was built between 1665 and 1675, the ornamented pulpit dates from the 18th century. In the church there is a grave tablet of the former landlord Adam Jaroslaw Ritter von Schaffmann and his wife Polyxena, née. Mittrowsky von Nemischl from 1669. The ornate tin baptismal font and the two larger bells bore the names of Schaffmann and his wife in Czech inscriptions. The smaller bell bore the name of the landlord Bernard Franz von Wiežnik in Latin inscription.
The building is in need of renovation. After the necessary maintenance measures were not carried out in the second half of the 20th century, the roof was repaired and the onion domes re-roofed after the Velvet Revolution to prevent further damage.
history
The church was built in the Gothic style and served as a parish church as early as the 14th century. The church was devastated during the Hussite Wars . It was later rebuilt in the Renaissance style and in 1609 in the early Baroque style. After the Thirty Years War the parish in Zbyslav became extinct, after which the church was a branch of Starkoč . Further modifications were made in the years 1658–1660. In 1692 the owner of the Zbyslav estate, Bernhard von Wiežnik, had the church rebuilt in the late Baroque style.
In 1717 the parish Starkoč was moved to Zbyslav, its district included the villages Bílé Podolí , Brambory , Koukalka, Lovčice , Polsko, Semtěš , Starkoč, Výčapy and Zaříčany . She also maintained the subsidiary churches of St. Martin in Turkovice until 1720 , which was then elevated to a parish church, and St. Gallus in Hošťalovice .
The alterations made in the years 1836–1837 and 1936 changed the appearance only insignificantly.
