Church of Saint Catherine, Gothic church in Olomouc, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Catherine is a Gothic structure located within the Ursuline monastery complex in Olomouc, featuring pointed arches and ribbed vaults throughout. The interior displays characteristic medieval proportions with soaring ceilings and slender supporting columns.

The monastery was founded in 1287 for Dominican nuns, whose church was first mentioned in 1363. After fires in 1455, 1513, 1701 and 1800, the church was baroquely modified and later regothicised between 1848 and 1884. The Ursulines took over in 1784 and returned after 1989.

The church is dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria, whose image hangs on the main altar, flanked by Saints Cyril and Methodius. Four Baroque statues of Dominican saints—Dominic, Catherine of Siena, Rose of Lima and Thomas Aquinas—by Jiří Antonín Heinz and Severin Tischler survive from the Dominican era. The Ursulines returned after 1989 and renewed their teaching work with a church school.

The church is regularly open for visits and continues to serve as an active place of worship. Visitors should be respectful of religious services that may be taking place during their visit.

The two bells in the roof turret were cast in 2009 in the workshop of Marie Tomášková-Dytrychová. Inside, four Baroque statues on the main altar survive from the Dominican period: Saint Dominic, Catherine of Siena, Rose of Lima and Thomas Aquinas, carved by Jiří Antonín Heinz and Severin Tischler.
