Church of Our Lady of the Snows, Baroque Jesuit church in Olomouc, Czech Republic.

Church of Our Lady of the Snows is a baroque structure in Olomouc with a symmetrical front and spacious interior. The main hall contains ornamental altars and colourful frescoes with biblical subjects painted across the walls and vaulted ceiling.

A Gothic Minorite monastery church stood here until the Jesuits, invited to Olomouc in 1566, replaced it with a new collegiate church. The cornerstone was laid on 12 July 1712, the church was consecrated on 16 February 1716, and interior work continued until 1743. After the order was dissolved in 1773 it served the university, then the military garrison, and from 1910 it was used for worship again.

The Marian patronage of the church, unusual for Jesuits in Moravia, is linked to the plague epidemic that struck Olomouc in 1715. The side chapel of St. Paulina holds relics of the city's patroness, given to the Jesuits by Pope Gregory XV in 1623. Since 2007 the church has been the university church of the Academic Parish of Olomouc, and its acoustics make it a favoured concert venue.

The church stands on Náměstí republiky, its front facing Denisova street, set into the row of former Jesuit university buildings; a wide stone staircase with a balustrade and landing leads up to the entrance. It is a working academic parish church, so services take priority over sightseeing. Its acoustics make it a concert venue, so check the parish programme before planning a visit.

In the entrance vestibule, two objects survive from the earlier Gothic Minorite church that stood here: a Gothic sculpture of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child and a late-Gothic crucifix. The side chapel of St. Pauline holds relics of Olomouc's patron saint, given to the Jesuits by Pope Gregory XV in 1623.
