A visit to the Church of St. Wenceslas in the small village Zvole included in the tour program, during which tourists are demonstrated architectural works of the famous Czech master Jan Błażej Santini of Ihala. Tour of the masterpieces of Satine starts from Žďár nad sázavou. Of course, you can take part in the tour, and come in Zvole for yourself to see the Church of St. Wenceslas – stocky creamy-white miracle, reflected in an artificial pond.

It is interesting that, although the Church and is considered a creation of the architect Santini of Aichele, but the authorship of this master has not been proven. Many researchers are found on the facade of the Church signs that are considered personal stamp of the architect, but the written sources that he worked on the Church, no.

This Church was altered in 1713-1717, of Gothic sacral buildings of the XIV century. Near the Church is a large ancient cemetery.

The temple is shaped like a Greek cross. Its Eastern façade is decorated with two towers topped with domes. These towers have been preserved from the original Church, they decided not to destroy but to prolong their lives, including the building of a new Church.

The Church of St. Wenceslas looks simple and solid. He is almost without any decoration, underlining its main purpose is to be a place for prayer.

The interior of the temple is very simple. Clean whitewashed walls, on which there are no frescoes, simple wooden benches – the decoration does not distract from the ascension of praise to the Lord. The main altar is still preserved in the temple, was established in 1770.
