Church of Saint Anne, Baroque church in Vižňov, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Anne in Vižňov is a baroque structure featuring curved forms and ornate decorative elements typical of 18th-century design. Its interior preserves religious furnishings and artistic details that showcase the craftsmanship of the period.

A parish church was first recorded at Vižňov in the mid-14th century; Abbot Tomáš Sartorius had the wooden church rebuilt and enlarged in 1672. After its demolition, Abbot Otmar Zinke laid the foundation stone of the present church on 28 June 1724; it was consecrated on 20 June 1727 and finished in 1728, built to a design by Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer. It has been a national cultural monument since 1 July 2022.

The church is dedicated to Saint Anne, and the marble plaque over the main entrance records its founding: DEI GENITRICIS MATRI S. ANNÆ EREXIT 1727 O.A.B., where O.A.B. stands for Otmarus Abbas Braunensis, Abbot Otmar of Broumov. No services are held here now, and the cemetery wall around the building is itself a listed monument.

The church stands on a slope above the village, on the cemetery that surrounds it; the cemetery wall is itself a listed monument. Services are no longer held here, and the building is in very poor condition, with water leaking through the roof and fallen plaster above the organ. A reconstruction was announced in 2024, funded by European funds, the Hradec Králové diocese, the region and the Broumov parish.

The marble plaque above the main entrance reads DEI GENITRICIS MATRI S. ANNÆ EREXIT 1727 O.A.B., where O.A.B. stands for Otmarus Abbas Braunensis, Abbot Otmar of Broumov. The organ by Paul Noske of Broumov dates from 1899, has two manuals and a cone-chest action, and its bellows are still pumped by foot; the instrument is currently out of order.
