The current roof of the Gothic Church of Our Lady's Nativity in Miličín (Benešov Region) was created after the town fire in 1644. While the new roof structure above the presbytery was built immediately after the disaster, the nave was roofed more than one hundred years later. The study is focusing with the earlier roof frame. It is especially interesting by using an anachronistic construction with long upward braces and a longitudinal axial frame, typologically going back to the Middle Ages. Here, however, it was combined with a very regressive type of short principals at the time the fully developed type of this construction prevailed in Bohemia. The red chalk assembly marking, not using the Roman numerals V and X, is rather interesting as well and continues the late medieval regional tradition.

Keywords: Miličín - church - roof structure - short principals - assembly marking
