Church of Saint Barbara in Adamov, Gothic Revival church in Adamov, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Barbara is a single-nave, oriented Gothic Revival building of red brick, 26 m long and 10 m wide, ending in a five-sided apse. Its west facade has a pointed gable topped by an oriel wall with an open belfry holding two bells. Inside, three bays of cross-ribbed vaulting cover the nave.

Prince Alois Lichtenstein commissioned the church, built in 1855–1857 to a design by Viennese architect Josef Hieser. It was consecrated on 4 December 1857 by Václav Stříž, dean of Jedovnice. A rectory, school and cemetery were built at the same time in matching style; church and rectory are protected cultural monuments.

The high altar is a carved wooden triptych that closes: Saint Barbara stands in the centre, with Saint Joseph and Saint John the Baptist on the wings. In the church is also the wooden Světelský oltář, a late Gothic work made in 1516–1525 from lime wood, over 7 m high with 59 figures, brought from the Cistercian monastery of Zwettl in Lower Austria and a national cultural monument since 1 July 2010.

The church stands in Adamov, in the South Moravian Region, and serves as the parish church of the local parish. The rectory, school building and cemetery were built together with it in the same style; the church and rectory are protected as cultural monuments of the Czech Republic.

Inside the church stands the Světelský oltář, a late Gothic limewood altarpiece made between 1516 and 1525 for the Cistercian monastery of Zwettl in Lower Austria. Over 7 metres tall with 59 figures, it has been a national cultural monument since 1 July 2010.
