Church of Saints Simon and Jude, Baroque church in Lipová, Czech Republic

The Church of Saints Simon and Jude is a baroque structure in Lipová featuring stone walls and the distinctive architectural details typical of the baroque period. Its layout combines a main worship space with a tower element that anchors the building's composition.

A church stood here before 1446, when written sources first mention it; the parish was among the oldest in the Šluknov region. Countess Marie Margaretha Slavatová had the present baroque church built in 1691–1695 by mason Balthasar Hille of Neustadt, reusing the old walls raised by two cubits. The first wedding was held on 19 January 1693, and the tower cross was set on 15 May 1695.

The village was the seat of the local estate from the 16th century, and the parish stayed continuously staffed even when neighbouring villages lacked priests. During the Reformation the Saxon village of Wehrsdorf belonged to Lipová's administration, and the Wehrsdorf church path led from there to this church. Easter rides and rogation processions ended after the war and the displacement of most original inhabitants.

The attic now holds a gallery open to the public, reached inside the church. The building is owned by the Roman Catholic parish-deanery of Lipová and has been a cultural monument since 1958. The cemetery around it, with its dilapidated mortuary, served until 1875.

The tower's bell, named Maria, was cast in 1512 and is the only one to survive wartime requisitions: four newer bells were handed over in World War I and four more, twenty years old, in 1942. New bells were bought by villagers in 1922.
