Church of Saint John of Nepomuk, Baroque church building in Nepomuk, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint John of Nepomuk exhibits typical Baroque design elements with a prominent dome and bell tower visible throughout the town.

Following a devastating fire in 1686, architect Kilián Ignaz Dientzenhofer reconstructed the church, completing the main structure in 1737 with steeples added by 1741.

The church contains fourteen detailed panels illustrating key events from the life of Saint John of Nepomuk, patron of silence and water.

The church welcomes visitors from 8:00 to 18:00 during summer months and 8:00 to 16:00 in winter, with guided tours available through advance reservation.

Financial limitations during construction resulted in the absence of painted ceilings, distinguishing it from other Baroque churches of the period.
