教会古迹和朝圣地在捷克共和国的建筑遗产中占很大一部分。而罗马天主教教堂、修道院、小教堂和朝圣地则占捷克国家教会古迹的绝大部分，这里还有许多犹太教和东正教的古迹。教会建筑在我国的发展经历了漫长的过程，绵延上千年。在9世纪末，随着基立尔、美多迪乌斯兄弟来到大摩拉维亚帝国，在捷克国家兴起基督教化，后来基督教被诸侯伯瑞沃依及其夫人鲁特米拉所接受。当时君主们下令建造了第一批教堂。逐渐第一拨僧侣团来到摩拉维亚和捷克地区，他们在当地建起修道院作为教育和文化中心。在天主教会中出现由对圣人的尊敬到对宗教的崇拜。这种崇拜被胡斯运动和胡斯复兴运动中断了很长时间，直至二个多世纪之后才得以重现，这与捷克的恢复天主教运动密切相关，它在18世纪时登峰造极，我们的国家被改变成严格的天主教之国。那时不可遏止地出现了对圣母玛丽亚的崇拜，体现为在捷克和摩拉维亚全国范围内修建公共大教堂、数目繁多的感恩柱和朝圣地（保留有300多处）。不过最让人尊敬的还是圣扬 聂波姆斯基，他的塑像矗立在每一座桥头和每一个村落。

Velehrad belongs to the most significant pilgrimage places in Moravia. It is connected with the seat of Moravian rulers and with the place, from which Christianity has spread on the lines of the Saints Cyril and Methodius.
