Church of Saint Wenceslaus, Modern Catholic church in Sazovice, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Wenceslaus is a cylindrical church completed in 2017 to a design by Marek Jan Štěpán, resembling a paper roll with peeling leaves. Windows sit where the walls open, admitting side light without a direct view out, and a round ceiling opening edged by three sides of a triangle brings light inside. The interior has pews on concentric semicircles for 180 people and a 12-metre bell tower with a carillon.

The idea for a place of worship here began during the period between the two world wars. The building was finally completed in 2017, ending a long planning process that lasted many decades.

The church is a filial church of the Mysločovice parish, and its cylindrical form draws on the rotundas of Saint Wenceslaus's era. On 13 May 2017, the hundredth anniversary of the apparitions at Fátima, Archbishop Jan Graubner consecrated the church and its 12-metre bell tower with a carillon.

The church is a filial church of the Mysločovice parish, so services are held here rather than daily. The interior seats 180 people on benches set in concentric semicircles, and the 12-metre bell tower holds a carillon. Look for the reliefs of Saint Wenceslaus and the Madonna by Vladimír Kokolia on the walls.

The church has no traditional altar window facing Prague; instead, a circular opening in the ceiling, edged on three sides by a triangle symbolizing the Eye of God, brings light into the interior. The walls are cut through with slits that admit only reflected side light, so there is no direct view out.
