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

The Church of Saint Wenceslaus features stone masonry walls, pointed arch windows, and a tall spire rising above the city center of Ostrava.

Built in the 13th century, the church received its first written mention in 1297 and underwent substantial renovations during the late 19th century.

The church maintains regular Catholic services while serving as an educational center about regional religious traditions and architectural development.

Visitors can access the church near Masaryk Square, with guided tours available through the OSTRAVAINFO center at Prokešovo náměstí.

Archaeological excavations revealed a medieval burial with a skeleton bearing a ceramic plate and three coins in its mouth.
