The Jesuit residence in Tuchoměřice and the churchs managed by the Order of the Society of Jesus in the proximate neighbourhood

Resume The Jesuit residence in Tuchoměřice and the churchs managed the Order the Society of Jesus in the proximate neighbourhood This thesis concerns the theme of the influence of the Order of Jesuits on the surroundings of the Tuchoměřice residence (Prague- West) and the proximate neighbourhood managed by the Order of Jesuits. The main aim was to summarize and map the monuments constructed during the period of Jesuits and create a more comprehensive view on this theme. The sources for the work were both literature and examination of the properties. The work includes the iconographic aspect proposed by Jesuits, which corresponds to the baroque respect of the local inhabitants to the saints. The frequency of agricultural patrons accounts for the agricultural specialization of the region. Above all, this region is very rich on the fresco and illusive paintings of the altars, whose authors are not yet fully clarified. This offers opportunities for further research.
