Evangelical church, Protestant church in Rovečné, Czech Republic.

The Evangelical Church in Rovečné is a rectangular neo-Renaissance building with a saddle roof covered in copper sheet, a five-sided apse and a tower with a pyramidal roof above the entrance. Its side facades have five tall round-arched windows, and the interior is divided into three naves by slender cast-iron columns with fluted shafts and decorated capitals.

The church was built in 1897–1898 in Neo-Renaissance style to a design by Jan Šír of Nové Město na Moravě, replacing a 1784 Tolerance prayer house that had become too small. It was solemnly opened on 28 August 1898, four years after pastor František Ilko took office; he served here until 1926. During World War I two of its bells were requisitioned, and replacements were only added in 1929.

Since 1998, on the occasion of the church's centenary, the bells of Rovečné's two churches have rung together on Saturday evenings, reviving a shared local custom between the Evangelical church and the Catholic church of St. Martin. The church also holds regular services for the congregation of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren.

The church stands in the centre of Rovečné, surrounded by its cemetery and cemetery wall, with three entrances on the front facade. Regular services of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren are still held here. Since 1998 the bells of this church and of the nearby Catholic Church of St Martin have been rung together on Saturday evenings.

Since 1998, on Saturday evenings the bells of this Evangelical church and those of the Catholic Church of St Martin in the same village have been rung together, reviving a tradition for the church's centenary. The tower holds three bells and a clock.
