Church of saint Wenceslas

The church was built on the site of an original Romanesque church, which was probably built in the first half of the 13th century and was managed by the Order of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star. When the church burnt down in the 1470s, Matyáš Šlik who acquired Loket Castle and the demesne through a pledge initiated the construction of a late Gothic church. It was to house the tomb of the House of Šlik. In 1701, a Baroque reconstruction of the church began according to the plans of J. W. Braunbock, a builder from Teplá. It was completed only in 1734 because the church was almost destroyed by a huge fire that swept through the town in 1725. After the reconstruction of the church had been completed, well-known local organ-builder J. L. Burckhart installed an organ with Baroque carving decorations. Another major renovation of the church began in 1875 and 27 years later, the church vessel received new window panes.
