Churches and chapels

Ryžoviště, Church of St. John the Baptist

Rýžoviště church was built in 1603 on the foundations of an earlier church, from which only the tower remains. It served Protestant believers. When the people embraced the Catholic faith, the temple was dedicated to St. John the Baptist. The current look has been maintained from 1755-1958. The church tower is 49m, the front of the church is broad, tapering in height to form a trapezoid. The temple dome is decorated with frescoes by Josef Hübsche from Prague in 1902. The Baroque altar and six side altars were made by Tyrolean sculptor Joseph Obletter. The marble font with a polychrome statue of St. John the Baptist is from 1897.
