Rating: 8,4/10 (1470 votes)  The Church of St. Jachim, located in the town of Jachymov, is the first Lutheran church in the Czech Republic. The construction of the church began in 1534, and ended in 1540. In the southern part of the church, a high tower was built overlooking the square. At the end of the battle on White Mountain, the church began to function as a Catholic church. In 1785, a new marble altar with the image of St. Jachim was erected in the wing of the main altar. In 1873, a severe fire broke out in the church, which destroyed all the interior decoration of the church, including the altar. After a while, restoration work was carried out in the temple.
