Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Starý Bohumín, church building in Bohumín, Czech Republic

The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Starý Bohumín is a single-nave, oriented plastered masonry building with a polygonal chancel, stepped buttresses and side chapels. A prismatic tower with an octagonal upper section and clock faces rises above the west facade. The nave has a saddle roof and a polygonal sanctus bell turret above the presbytery.

The building originated as a wooden chapel around the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries. It was replaced by a stone structure in the Gothic style during the 14th century, which then underwent a major restoration between 1910 and 1911 to preserve its historical character.

The church keeps the image of Our Lady of the Rosary of Starý Bohumín, crowned on 7 October 2004 by Bishop František Lobkowicz with gilded crowns blessed by Pope John Paul II in the Vatican. This act restored the church's status as a pilgrimage site.

The church stands in Starý Bohumín, served since 1993 by Franciscans from the monastery in Katowice-Panewniki. Near the building are the rotunda-shaped tomb of the Henckel family of Donnermarck, former owners of Bohumín, and a sandstone statue of St Joseph with the Christ Child from the first half of the 19th century.

The two bells cast in 1620 by Hans Knauff of Opava were seized in 1942 and hung in German churches after the war; they were tracked down in Remscheid and Wuppertal-Nächstebreck and returned, restored, on 22 April 2015. Three new bells were cast in Passau in 2006 and 2007 for the 750th anniversary of Bohumín's first mention.
