AB Dealing with the building history of Saint Kunigunde Church in Hosteradice in the Znojmo Region, the study presents several stages of construction, the most significant ones dating from the 13th and 16th centuries, as substantiated by a number of architectural elements. The authors suggest to adjust the dating of the individual stages based on the building history analysis supported by dendrochronology, probes, and a closer examination of mason's marks. Over centuries, the church underwent a transformation from an early three-aisled Gothic basilica of the Teutonic Order to a four-aisled Late Gothic church of a manorial town reflecting the power of its owners, the Lords of Lipa. Furthermore, several heraldic relics have remained in the church and others are known from written sources. Renaissance, Baroque, and later reconstructions reaching the peak in the 1980 s left their marks on the church's current appearance. The study is an investigation into these building stages and the first step towards the planned overall reconstruction of the church that ranks among the most precious sacral structures in the Znojmo Region.
