Culture and History

The interior of St. George’s Church in Jiříkov is furnished in the Baroque style. The complex also includes a Baroque mortuary chapel dating from around 1729, located on the southeastern edge of the church grounds beside the cemetery and forming part of the enclosing wall. Jiříkov is also home to a Baroque sculptural group depicting Saint Charles Borromeo, Saint John of Nepomuk and Saint Florian, dating from 1769.

The Baroque rectory was built in 1777 and has been protected as a historical monument since 4 April 1966. Four houses built in the 18th century in the vernacular architectural style are among Jiříkov’s state-protected immovable monuments. One house was built in 1771; a statue of Christ was placed in its garden in 1860. An ensemble consisting of a rural house and a shed dates from around the middle of the 19th century and is located on the Jiříkovský potok.

Pilgrimage and Sacral Architecture

The basilica in Filipov was built between 1873 and 1885 as a monumental single-nave Neo-Romanesque church with two towers on the façade. In Filipov, a district of Jiříkov, the annual pilgrimage Mass in the early morning in January attracts hundreds of worshippers from Czechia, Germany and Slovakia. The pilgrimage tradition in Filipov began after a Marian apparition on 13 January 1866 and the subsequent healing of Magdaléna; people then began making pilgrimages to the shrine.
