Lidice Church of St. Martin has been a parish church since 1352. It reached its peak in the first half of the 18th century, when Anna Marie Toskánská had it reconstructed and added a whole new nave and tower. During its existence, the church was even burned down three times. The first time during the Hussite wars, the second time during the Thirty Years' War and the last time during the Lidice tragedy in 1942. The only thing that has survived from the church is its entrance door. This happened thanks to the fact that when valuables were being taken away during the destruction of the village, the doors were used on wagons as sides to prevent the load from falling.
A simpler model built without modifications. The roof construction was a bit more complicated, I added a simple pad.
