Church of Saint Wenceslaus, Roman Catholic parish church in Šluknov, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Wenceslaus is a single-nave baroque building on a rectangular plan, with a semicircular presbytery facing northeast. Paired pilasters divide the walls, and late-baroque statues of Saint John the Baptist and Saint Paul flank the main portal. A prismatic tower with a barrel-vaulted passage is built into the southwest facade.

The current structure was built between 1711 and 1722, rising from the ashes of two earlier churches destroyed by fires in 1634 and 1710. This reconstruction was part of a broader rebuilding effort across the region during the baroque period.

The church is dedicated to Saint Wenceslaus, whose feast is celebrated with a pilgrimage Mass on 28 September. The main altar holds a late-18th-century painting of his murder by Jan Jiří Schmidt, and a now-empty niche in the tower passage once held his statue.

The church stands on Farní Street in the centre of Šluknov, with the baroque parish house of 1842 and a statue of Saint Wenceslaus just east of it. The former cemetery around the building still holds classicist tombstones, some carved by Dresden sculptor Franz Pettrich. The main entrance is in the southeast wall, and the tower on the southwest facade has a vaulted passage.

The church's organ, built between 1939 and 1940 by the Žitava firm Andreas Schuster & Sohn, has 47 registers, three manuals, a pedal and more than three thousand pipes. The nativity scene inside measures 6 by 2 metres and was made by several crib carvers from the Šluknov region.
