Church of Saint Michael, Gothic church building in Chrudim II, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Michael is a Gothic-style building located in Chrudim II, situated in Michalský Park near Tyršovo Square. It features tall ceilings, pointed-arch windows, and finely worked stone walls characteristic of Gothic architecture.

Consecrated in 1521 as a cemetery church for Chrudim's New Town, it was funded by the town with contributions from pious citizens. Fires in 1611 and 1811 destroyed the tower and prompted a new pulpit and stone mortuary; burials continued in its cemetery until September 1881.

The church is named for Archangel Michael and was consecrated around his feast day, 29 September 1521, when a bell was also cast in his honour. A chalice carved on the west gable recalls that Chrudim was Utraquist at the time of construction.

The church stands in Michalský Park, also called Zieglerovy sady, in Chrudim's New Town, not on the main square. The interior is 20.8 m long, with a nave 13.2 m long and 7.7 m wide; the presbytery is narrower and slightly raised, reached past the triumphal arch.

The church has no tower: a slender bell turret with a sanctus bell sits in the middle of the nave roof. The west gable carries a nine-step parapet with cross-shaped openings, inspired by the Pernštejn lodge of Pardubice.
