This thesis deals with sacral architecture in northeastern Slovakia, which contributes to the importance of the Šariš region. Some of the buildings (Bodružal, Hervartov and Ladomirová) are included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. The aim of this thesis was dendrochronological dating of selected wooden churches in this region. Based on standard dendrochronological procedures, remove, prepare and measure samples as well as anatomically identify the woods used to build churches. For the purpose of this work, 8 churches of the log structure were selected (Bodružal, Frička, Hervartov, Jedlinka, Kožany, Krivé, Ladomirová, Lukov), of which 118 samples were taken using a Pressler increment borer and 25 photographs for image analysis. The most represented wood was fir (130 samples). A total of 143 samples collected resulted in a successful dating of all churches. The oldest of the dated churches was in Hervartov, where the timber was mined between 1589 and 1593. On the other hand, the youngest of the dated churches was the church in Krive, dating from 1822 to 1826. to the early 19th century. Synchronized annual ring curves were used to construct a local standard chronology that covers the period between 1465 and 1845. This local standard chronology can be used for further determination of wooden churches not only in eastern Slovakia but also in the vicinity. Dating contributes to the clarification of the building history of some churches, as the literature often states inconsistencies.

Changes to the Interior of the Basilica of St. Margaret's Monastery Břevnov St. Margaret's Church, which is part of Břevnov monastery of Benediktines, was built under the supervision of abbot and builder Otmar Zinke in the beginning of the 18th century. As all the architectonical works, even building of this great dome of radical Baroque came through its development. The earliest changes were done by the architect Pavel Ignác Bayer in the beginning of forming the plans. His successor was Kryštof Dientzenhofer. He changed even the basic masonry and the building as a single nave. According to the archival records there were some changes concerning the iconographical programme. The interior was gradually completed and changed partly too. The main changes concerned the paintings, arranging of the liturgical area and the Baroque organ case reconstruction as well as new organ.

The Diploma thesis deals with the church of St. Nicholas. Thesis is about church monographically, focusing on the period of creation, the buiding itself and artistic value of the church and its equipment. Thesis processes architecture of the church, not just a description, but it also looks for possible patterns and analogie. Whereas the predecessor of the church can be dated to the 11. century is very interesting to see how the church was created in connection with the foundation of the city. Equipment of the church is at first sight rather baroque, but we will find such a sights as the valuable work of the main altar, the image Assumpta from 15. century Among important baroque monuments includes the cykle of the life of St. Clement by Ignác Viktorín Raab and statues of the St. Aldabert and Prokop from the workshop of Matyas Bernar Braun. The church is an interestin unification of various styles.

Diversity of today´s castles and its lucid establishment in tradition or on the other hand the unique of its forms calls up questions, the need to look back and the need of reflection. This contribution is focused on phenomenon of sacral space from the point of view of certain type - opened and closed - especially on co-influencing of light and glass as one of themost important attributes of these archepypes influencing the creation of liturgics area composition.

Main subject of these diploma project was finding a good location for the library building in Prerov city and design these library, too. Selected place is located of the edge part of the wider town center, not so far from the lively crossroad of the Komenskeho and Velke Novosady street. Parcel with the evangelical church is currently used mainly for parking for the residents of surrounding residential buildings. The object mass is trying to shape and define city spaces and logical and sensitive respond surrounding development.

The main goal of this thesis is to prove the suitability of the chosen locality called “Na Marku“ for building of a new object – the City Library in Přerov. The project shows one of the possible solutions, which takes into account keeping part of the archeological findings in this locality and its access to the public. As the building would be located on the banks of the river Bečva, organic materials have been suggested for the building, which would harmonize with the river and the town.

The study presents a new church for Novy Liskovec in Brno. The site is situated in the middle of housing estate close to public transport, on a rocky southern slope. The proposed building is used for local citizens and the christian community. For the project to be beneficial to all people concerned, I suggest layout features on culture, recreation, services and church. The open building design creates a natural social center. The church acts as a social center - multi-functional building. The basic inspirational impulse for the general shape and formal concept of the house is the existing passage through the plot, the need for social meetingpoint and the relationship to the surrounding landscape. Abstracted belt runs continuously through the construction; gradually defines and separates the social, secular and sacred space. To the visitor the house reveals a play of light, shadows and glimpses of the horizon. The project is divided into three parts: connected community center and church which are accompanied by multi-functional car park with shops and playground. The described objects create two building complexes that stand opposite to each other on the western and eastern edge of the plot. Among them, these create a town-square motif, leaving free space - the rock. The architectural concept of the church as a meandering path is expressed in the material solution of the construction. Path - the band that wraps the space has a different outer and inner material surface. The wrapped ribbon motif embracing and defining the space comes alive and changes with the movement of man in the enclosed space. Construction works as a series of leaflets - images that tell the story. The main axis of the object is oriented in the north-south direction thus offering views of open countryside and horizon, binds the building to the landscape. The structural design of the church is designed from concrete walls and steel trussers. The main load-bearing structures are embedded with self standing boxes from wooden KLH boards (laminated solid wood) as additional space separators.

The work is focused on the activation church St. Leonard, the only remnant of the village Musov reminds of the area, which culminated in the construction of Musov reservoir, inundation of village and forced eviction of the population. Activation is based on creation of access´s opportunities to the church through the system of islands and buildings.

One of the requirements was to create modern church not only for the comunity of Selesians, but also for the general public. The church which will benefit its surroundings and gives new life into this place. Architectural solution of church is trying to follow an idea of proposal based not only from character of the sacral building, but also from biblical motives. The church should remind hug of the God, who is in love to the people. The ring describes one of the main principles of Selesians – looking for everything what connects people, education in faith, comunity. In proposal is calculated with spiritual center including multifunctional hall, classrooms, adoration chapel, offices, apartment for pastor and also with occasional accommodation. Parish center is geometrically accurate, rectangular and precisely fitted. While building of church is different by its shape and character. It creates a dominant of the in surrounding panel housing estate. This dominant does not disturb surrounding because of its clean lines and used materials – white concrete.
