Interesting facts about Hájička
The church stands on the hill Hájičky, a very nice and quiet place, whose impressiveness is enhanced by the nearby Stations of the Cross.
The origin of the church dates back to 1245 with a canonical visitation from 1782.
After the reconstructions, the apse with the original window on the east side recalls the Romanesque origin of the building.
The frieze on the apside is already formed by "Gothic" angled arches. Similar can be found at the apside of the church in Jelka, where, however, some arches turn into half-cylindrical porches.
On the south side of the nave, a simple semicircular Romanesque portal has been preserved to this day, into which a straight lintel was inserted in the 14th century. Doors with decorated fittings should also come from the same period.
The divided triumphal arch, also from the Romanesque period, is also interesting.
Above the entrance to the tower is a brick hole, it could have been a Romanesque window.
In front of the church tower there is a wooden bell tower with two bells.
From 1837, during the Rose Festival, a "pink maiden" was chosen in the church among single girls aged 17-25. The election was introduced by the local priest, always on Pentecost Monday, and was intended to elevate the morality of the local girls. Only one man from each house (farm) could vote and the winner received 100 gold in addition to the wreath.
