were repaired, and new roofing material was installed. Description Until the 20th century, the church served as a chapel for the nearby castle. Its main nave is polygonally closed by a five-sided chancel (presbytery) and equipped with a sacristy and an oratory on the upper floor. The presbytery with radial ribbed vaulting is smoothly concluded in the middle by a keystone and is pierced by four windows, of which only one with a 15 cm opening is original. The church roof is topped by a bulbous dome with a bell tower. The entrance on the north side of the church is formed by a pointed arch with a shallow profile. The main nave of the church, with a flat ceiling, is 8.30 m long and 7.60 m wide. Its interior is adorned with three Baroque altars with sculptural decoration. The original baptismal font and a 14th-century Madonna with child have been preserved. A Romanesque chapel is located in the perimeter wall of the church cemetery to the east. Architectural style The Church of St. John the Baptist in Mlázovy is an oriented single-nave building with a five-sided closed presbytery without buttresses, with a square sacristy on the north side and an oratory on the upper floor, without a tower. The church nave has a wider rectangular floor plan, while the presbytery is narrower and rectangular. The church nave has a flat ceiling with a stucco mirror. The presbytery is vaulted with radial ribs with a wedge profile. The choir loft is not vaulted. The interior of the presbytery is illuminated by five windows, one of which is Gothic, tall, and narrow. The nave and presbytery are covered by a gable roof, sloping into a polygonal barrel at the end, and the sacristy has a shed roof. On the western side, there is a tin-plated octagonal turret, the so-called "sanctus bell".
