The Pilgrimage Church of the Virgin Mary on Chlumek is translated to Poutní kostel Panny Marie na Chlumku in Czech. The founder of the pilgrimage site in the Chlumek was Mary Maximilian Countess of Zdar (Marie Maxmiliána hrabenka ze Ždáru ). She built the church at her own expense. On May 8, 1668, Bishop Matouš Ferdinand Sobek dedicated the foundation stone and on August 9, 1669, an expensive Baroque church was consecrated to the Virgin Mary. The church complex has a typical rectangular floor plan. The main aisle is demarcated by a balustrade interspersed by four larger and four smaller chapels. The building's construction and the architectural motifs are very precise. A unique set of artistic decorations adorns the building as well. Created around 1700, some of the works it contains are undoubtedly of gallery quality.
