Church of Saint James the Greater, Gothic and Baroque church in Nepomuk, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint James the Greater features two prominent steeples and stands as a centerpiece of religious architecture in southern Bohemia.

The current church structure, completed between 1734 and 1737, replaced an earlier building from the 1640s under the direction of architect K.I. Dientzenhofer.

The church maintains regular mass services and holds special celebrations connected to Saint John of Nepomuk, who was born in this town.

Visitors can access the church from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM during summer months and from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in winter, with free admission.

The church interior deviates from typical Baroque designs by not including painted ceilings, reflecting financial limitations during its construction period.
