Church of Saint Wenceslaus, Gothic church in Moravská Ostrava, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Wenceslaus is a three-nave basilica with a polygonal presbytery, two Baroque chapels and a Gothic tower topped by a copper-clad onion dome. Its brick net vault dates from 1539, and the tower carries a clock added in 1805.

The building was constructed in the 13th century and received its first written record in 1297. Major restoration work in the late 19th century strengthened the structure and updated its appearance.

The church gave its name to the surrounding quarter: Kostelní street and the adjacent bishop's residence of the Ostrava-Opava diocese stand beside it. Inside, fourteen Stations of the Cross by František Vavřinec Korompay, painted before 1779, hang along the nave walls.

The church is located near Masaryk Square and easily accessible on foot from the city center. Local information offices can provide details about visiting hours and any available tours.

During the 1998 excavation in the church crypt, a skeleton was found with a granite slab pressed on its chest and three coins in its mouth. The burial is not otherwise identified in the sources.
