This church stands next to the impressive, large monastery complex in Konojedy. It was built between 1748 and 1762 on the site of a previous Gothic church by the local lordship of the von Sporck family. The monastery was abolished by Emperor Josef II in 1786 and later also bought by the von Sporck family and converted into a palace. The church became a parish church.
In 1945, ammunition detonated in the neighboring quarry, severely damaging the church. After that, it was used by the army together with the former monastery complex. It continued to deteriorate and parts of the inventory were misplaced, others stolen.
The monastery was bought by a private individual in 2007, who has been gradually renovating it ever since. The church was given to him by the Roman Catholic Church. He renovated it in recent years and now it shines in new splendor. The altarpieces by the Baroque painter Filip Leubner from the 18th century have also been restored in the last five years.
Originally the church was equipped with a monumental organ in three cases. However, after the church was closed, the instrument fell into disrepair and was gradually vandalized along with other pieces of furniture. Today it is stored in an empty churchyard in Varnsdorf. The owners are interested in restoring the instrument and returning it to its original location.
The church is open to the public at certain times on weekends from April to early October, but the castle is not.
