Albrechtice nad Vltavou - cemetery grounds

The Church of St. Peter and Paul in Albrechtice nad Vltavou is one of the most important Romanesque buildings in South Bohemia. Inside you will find a unique cycle of frescoes on the theme of the Last Judgement. The chapels in the adjacent cemetery are an absolute rarity. In addition to paintings, they also contain testimonies from the lives of the deceased written by the local priest himself in the mid-19th century. The history of the paintings in the arcade chapels of the cemetery wall begins in 1841. In the years 1819-1854, the priest Vít Cíza worked here and came up with the idea of ​​building arcade chapels with paintings in memory of the deceased.
