Abstract
Abstract The researched truss of the Gothic Church of St. Bartholomew in the village of Mladočov is one of the examples of the use of the historical Czech length units of measurement; in this case, the Gothic and Baroque part of it. At the same time, it analyzes the proportional relationships between the individual elements of the truss. The structural analysis in relation to current standards points to the fact that the original design of the structure based on geometrical and proportional principles satisfy the reliability conditions defined by current European standards for structural design.

It was possible to identify the old length units that were used in the realization and that corresponds to the Czech ell used since 1268
A numerical model of the roof structure was created in order to perform a static analysis of the roof structure in accordance with present standards
Summary
The researched truss is a rafter-collar tie structure with collar beams and pedestal struts. It has a characteristic shape and maybe typologically be classified as a structure of the earlier period. This type of truss structure was typically built in this region and represents one of the features occurring in the particular social and cultural circles at the time, for example, St. Martins Church in Dolní Újezd [1]. A numerical model of the roof structure was created in order to perform a static analysis of the roof structure in accordance with present standards. With regard to the structural analysis results, it can be said that the original design of the structure based on geometrical and proportional principles satisfy the reliability conditions defined by current European standards for structural design
