Svatý Martin
Czechia
You find Svatý Martin just south of Sedlčany's square, its west end opening straight onto the street, set on the oval rise of what was once the town graveyard. It is the oldest building still standing in Sedlčany, an early Gothic parish church, and it has been protected as a cultural monument since 1958. Nobody knows exactly when it was founded. The earliest written mention of Sedlčany, from 1294, says nothing about a church, so the usual dating of 1270 to 1280 rests on style alone: the paired Romanesque-Gothic windows high in the tower. Treat that as an informed estimate rather than a recorded fact.
