    Small church with modest decoration. When you think about the graves around, it's a beautiful place with a charming view.

    Beautifully situated above the town of Semily, the Baroque church is a protected cultural monument and is surrounded by a cemetery with a beautiful view of the countryside. One of the oldest buildings in Semily was originally wooden. In 1727 a new building was consecrated.

    The Church of St. John the Baptist is probably the oldest preserved building in Semily. It was built in the sixteenth century on the site of an original wooden fortress. Equipment is Baroque, the vault of the presbytery is decorated with a fresco by Prague painter Antonín František Hampisch from 1735. Attention, the church is open only during masses and concerts.
