Church of Saint Bartholomew, Catholic church in Velký Šenov, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Bartholomew in Velký Šenov is a single-nave oriented building ending in a five-sided presbytery with a prism tower and a ground-floor sacristy. The nave has a flat ceiling, and the tower's top was rebuilt in Baroque form in 1780.

The first church is documented in urbarium records of 1445 and 1446; the surviving Renaissance building probably dates from the 1570s, with a tower rebuilt in Baroque form in 1780. It was Protestant until the parish was fully re-Catholicised in the 1660s, and it has been a protected cultural monument since 6 June 2000.

The church is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew, whose martyrdom is depicted on the main altar. A local legend tells of lovers Lisa and Phillip and a miraculous transfer of building material, and a chapel was built at the site of the murder. Regular services are held on Thursdays at 18:00 and Sundays at 10:30.

The building is accessible during Catholic services and can be visited by arrangement with the local parish. It is advisable to contact the parish office beforehand to confirm visiting times and access options.

The oldest bell in the tower is the death knell; the Easter bell was cast in 1921 by Richard Herold's Chomutov firm, and a small bell came from the local Calvary chapel. Seven tombstones in the former churchyard were carved by Dresden court sculptor Franz Pettrich (1770–1844).
