When firefighters arrived, the church, which was built from massive wooden trunks, was already engulfed in flames. Damages are estimated to be in the millions of euros.
The church, which was first Lutheran and subsequently became Roman Catholic, was ornately decorated inside and had been extensively restored between 2012 and 2014. Czech Culture Minister Daniel Herman had already pledged support for the church's rebuilding.
