We went out this afternoon for a little sightseeing in our area. We first stopped in the village of Kočí to see the Gothic church building dating from 1397. It has a wooden covered bridge leading up to the main entrance. The cemetary area (now unused) is surrounded by the wooden fence/wall. Here's a second photo from the rear of the church:
From Kočí, we went up the road a couple of miles to the village of Dvakačovice. The church we saw there isn't Roman Catholic like in Kočí, but Evangelical (basically Lutheran). It was in pretty bad shape, at least on the outside. Here is the inscription over the rear entrance to the building:
That's a reference from Isaiah 56:7: "my house shall be called a house of prayer." (ESV)Both of these villages are about 15 miles southwest of Horní Jelení.
