Church of Saint Wenceslaus, Baroque church in Loket, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Wenceslaus is a Roman Catholic parish church on raised ground near the western end of Loket's historic square, at Kostelní 14/3 beside Loket Castle. Its Baroque form dates to 1701–1734, built by Wolfgang Braunbock and his son Andreas; the north portal and squared masonry of the north wall survive from the Romanesque church.

A church existed here by 1240, built by the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star and confirmed as a parish by Pope Innocent IV in 1248. After a fire in 1473 or 1474, Mikuláš Šlik and his son Matyáš had a Gothic church built, consecrated in 1490 and used as the Šlik family tomb. The present Baroque church was begun in 1701, interrupted by the town fire of 1725, and finished in 1734 by Wolfgang and Andreas Braunbock.

The church is dedicated to Saint Wenceslaus, to whom the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star, who built it in the 13th century, received patronage rights from King Wenceslaus I; Pope Innocent IV confirmed the grant in 1248. Until 1550 Mass was said alternately in Czech and German. Since 2022 two new bells, Anežka and Václav, hang here, blessed on 28 September by Grand Master Jiří Šedivý.

The church stands on raised ground at the western end of Loket's historic square, at Kostelní 14/3, right beside the castle. The climb up Kostelní Street is short but uphill, and the former cemetery wall there was demolished during the 18th-century rebuilding. The interior can be visited outside service times.

The church stands on raised ground by the west end of the historic square, right beside Loket Castle, and its first written mention dates to 1240. The Knights of the Cross with the Red Star built it and ran the parish from 1248. From the Romanesque building only the north portal and the block masonry of the north wall survive.
