Church and Local History

The Church of Saint John of Nepomuk in Královec was built between 1924 and 1928. It is a Classicist-style building with a prismatic tower on the façade, a rectangular nave, and a semicircular apse. It was consecrated on August 5, 1928, and restored in the mid-1990s.

The former Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk in Královec was consecrated on September 22, 1812, and demolished in 1933 after the new church had been consecrated. A statue of Saint John of Nepomuk dating from 1762 remains at the original site of the former chapel. A restored statue of Saint John of Nepomuk stands 50 m along the access road to the church in Královec. A stone reconciliation cross stands beside the steps to the church.
