Church of Saint Anne and Saint James the Greater, Baroque church in Stará Voda, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Anne and Saint James the Greater is a Baroque church building in the village of Stará Voda, featuring the characteristic architectural style of its period. The structure displays symmetrical proportions, curved forms, and elaborately crafted facade details typical of 17th-century religious buildings.

A wooden church dedicated to Saint James the Greater stood in Stará Voda, first mentioned in 1456, beside a pilgrimage chapel of Saint Anne documented in 1529. Bishop Karl II of Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn commissioned Giovanni Pietro Tencalla to design a new church, built in 1683–1688 by Matouš Partsche and consecrated in 1690; the Piarists completed it by 1696. After 1950 the army seized it and pilgrimages were banned.

Pilgrims came from Olomouc, other Moravian towns and Poland, chiefly for the feasts of Saint James (25 July) and Saints Anne and Joachim (26 July). The object of veneration was the Mother of God of Stará Voda, a 25 cm Gothic polychrome sculpture of Saint Anne with the Child Jesus. In 1768 the site recorded 29,250 communions.

The church is located in the small village of Stará Voda and is easily accessible when visiting the area. It is worth checking in advance about visiting hours, as it is an active place of worship for the local Catholic community.

The church stands in the military training area of Libavá, in the vanished village of Stará Voda, which was emptied of its German population after 1946. Its main object of veneration was a 25 cm Gothic polychrome sculpture of Saint Anne with the Child Jesus, known as Mother of Stará Voda. In 1768 pilgrims received 29,250 communions here, the largest number recorded.
