Here was some of the other equipment/supplies/junk available to the maintenance crew, which I think makes a nice photo in black and white.

I took several shots of the shingles, examining the patterns they made in the stack, and I wasn't the only photographer to notice this.

There were plenty of spare parts stored in the Basilica, including these slate shingles. It doesn't look like they're for the roof, though, as the roof is reddish in color.

The courtyard is actually walled in more than being a part of the main building, as you can see here, looking in towards the rear of the nave.

The Basilica also has a courtyard, albeit one without a garden, and in it are several statues in varying states of repair.

Sv. Kopecek refers to the hill on which the Basilica is built. It isn't a very tall hill, but it still gives visitors a good view of the surrounding countryside, which is mostly flat.

The Bazilika Minor na sv. Kopecku (Basilica Minor on St. Kopecek) was built in 1669-1679, and designed by Giovanniho Pietra Tencalla, although an older church had existed on this site as early as 1078. More recently, this Basilica was a stop on Pope John Paul II's tour of the Czech Republic in 1995.

The full name of this basilica is the "Basilica Minor of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary," which is such a long name that it's rarely used. Dating to 1669, this basilica was one of the places Pope John Paul II visited in 1995.
