<\/a>The church has one nave and one tower with a clock. The church is untraditionally situated with the main altar facing the south, in order that the tower with its entering gate would be directly from the square. In the front fa\u00e7ade of the church there are two stone statues of St Peter and St Paul. The interior of the church is decorated with beautiful stucco ornaments \u2013 volute and cornices made by Vienna masters.<\/p>\nThere are five altars in the church: the main altar and four side altars. Besides each of them there is a great altar picture \u2013 an oil paint, the works of painters from Vienna school, for example Mr. Br\u00e4ndler or Mr. Underberg. The main altar represents the Assupmtion of the Virgin Mary into Heaven, the side altars in the front represent the death of St Joseph and St Teresa of Avila, the side altars in the back represent Joseph and Teresa Schwarzenberg with their little son John and also St John of Nepomuk to whom they had prayed for their son. This last picture is the most valuable for Postoloprty since its illustrates the city of Postoloprty in 1750 with the Holy Trinity above.<\/p>\n
The pulpit is decorated with wooden statues of small angels and plastics that represent Jesus\u2019 teachings. There are nicely carved confessional boxes in the church as well as benches for about 300 people, all in original state. The church has also the original Stations of the Cross. Two windows near the main altar are glass set in plumb with the original illustration of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary with child Jesus. On the top of the arch is a beautiful Schwarzenberg\u2019s coat of arms. Behind on the choir there is an organ. The original mechanical organ made by Christoph Panzer from Vienna. From them remained only so called \u201ccorpus\u201d; the proper organ was enlarged and modernized to pneumatic by the company of Mr. Hauser from Teplice in 1932. <\/p>\n
From the rich history of roman catholic church in Postoloprty only one church remained \u2013 beautiful and dignifying church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, which serves at first place for divine services celebrated every day morning or evening. Moreover the church serves also for sacramental services, for example Baptism of children and adults and marriages. In the last years occasional concerts of spiritual music for a wide public are also performed. <\/p>\n
