Church of St. FlorianThe Church of St. Florian, a national cultural monument located on the grounds of the Krásné Březno chateau, was built in the Saxon Renaissance style as the private Lutheran Chapel of Our Lady at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. Its interior features a ribbed historicist vault with gold-plated rosettes, however, the diamond portals represent a typical feature of the Saxon Renaissance style (not only). The matronea show that the estate’s owners - the Knights of Bünau- were Lutheran. The most valuable part of the church´s furnishings is a quite unique original main altar with alabaster reliefs uncommonly depicting the genealogy of Jesus Christ as its central theme. The structure was reconstructed between 2011 and 2013 and at present is open to the public all-year-round.
