Church of the Holy Trinity in Fulnek

One of the landmarks of Fulnek is the Baroque parish Church of the Holy Trinity. It towers over the town and from the outside you can see that it is one of the most important Baroque buildings not only in the Moravské Kravařsko region, but also in Moravia.

This important monument stands on the site of the original Gothic church, which was dedicated to St. Philip and St. James and was a place of monasticism. Today, this church is mainly associated with its extraordinary decoration, which is reminiscent of scenes from the Bible and is referred to as the Picture Bible, and the admirable Stations of the Cross, which is the most valuable Gothic monument of Fulnek.

In a place of honour next to the altar there is a painting of Our Lady of Help, which is associated with a miracle described by local believers in the mid-18th century, when tears appeared on the painting. The locals believed in the healing effects of the painting and came to pray and decorate the painting with flowers. To this day, the painting is one of the most precious relics of the temple.

The church has been restored, making it not only a place of prayer for the local faithful, but also attracting tourists who come to explore the area.
