Church of St. Mary Magdalene, Baroque church in Božanov, Czech Republic.

The Church of St. Mary Magdalene is a Roman Catholic church in Božanov, one of the Broumov group of Baroque churches. Its square nave with chamfered corners is attached to an older tower, and a 15th-century Gothic gate leads into the walled cemetery. It is the only church in the group with a brick vault.

A wooden church dedicated to St. Bartholomew stood here by 1384 and served as the parish church until 1626. The current Baroque building was begun in 1709 under Abbot Otmar Zinke and completed in 1743 under Abbot Benno Löbl, following designs by Christoph and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer. Restoration from 1996 to 2000 cost 10,230,000 CZK.

The church is dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene, whose sculpture stands in the main altar, flanked by sculptures of St. Joseph and St. John the Baptist. Mass is held on the last Sunday of each month at 8:30, and the building is open to believers and to visitors interested in Baroque architecture.

The church stands on a hill above Božanov, within a cemetery enclosed by a stone wall, reached through a 15th-century Gothic gate. Mass is held on the last Sunday of each month at 8:30, and the building is open to visitors and believers alike. The Baroque parish house stands next to it.

It is the only church in the Broumov group covered by a brick vault, and the cemetery is entered through an original 15th-century Gothic gate. A statue of the patron saint stands on the façade, above the entrance the abbey coat of arms is carved.
