The Roman Catholic Church of St. Wendelin was built on the highest point of the village and, thanks to its solid building material, withstood even the Turkish ravages. The church’s origins are evidenced by the preserved, purely Romanesque ground plan and by all the openings being placed on its south side. The original entrance was later walled up and moved to the western fa\u00e7ade. In the second half of the 16th century the village ceased to exist, but the church was preserved. In the 1720s, Count Franti\u0161ek Gyulai had the church repaired, and in the canonical visitation of 1770 it is mentioned as very old. In 1776 the fa\u00e7ade was renewed and a small roof turret was added. The originally small and narrow windows were enlarged and given segmental arches. Today the fa\u00e7ades of the church are plain, without architectural details. Beneath the plaster, the original stone masonry can be discerned. On the main Baroque altar hangs a late-Baroque painting of St. Wendelin depicted among his flock. The gilded carved tabernacle is from the period before 1770. The gallery, on which the harmonium stands, dates from the 19th century and, during the most recent reconstruction of the church, was supported by two iron columns. In the two eastern corners of the nave are small Lourdes grottoes, one containing a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, the other a Piet\u00e0 sculpture. The marble holy-water font is from the 19th century.<\/p>\n
The church was reconstructed in 2002.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1681,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tags":[],"kategoria-programov":[108],"obec":[120],"class_list":["post-1422","zaujimavost","type-zaujimavost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategoria-programov-with-culture","obec-patince"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zaujimavost\/1422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zaujimavost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/zaujimavost"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1422"},{"taxonomy":"kategoria-programov","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategoria-programov?post=1422"},{"taxonomy":"obec","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/obec?post=1422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
