Church of Saint Catherine in Vilémov, Religious monument in Vilémov, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Catherine in Vilémov is a single-nave Baroque church built in 1758, with a rectangular nave and a semicircular presbytery. A tall tower from 1908 rises above the recessed entrance on the building's axis. It stands on a sloping village square.

The church was built in 1758 in the Baroque style on the order of František Reginald, Count of Andlern-Witten, owner of the Chudobín estate. The tall tower above the recessed entrance was added in 1908. The church is listed as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

The parish church bears the name of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, to whom it was consecrated when Count František Reginald of Andlern-Witten had it built in 1758. The dedication is still the reason for the annual parish feast, and the church remains the centre of religious life in Vilémov.

The church stands on the sloping village square, which falls from west to east, so the tower above the recessed entrance is visible from the lower end. It is a parish church, so check the parish website for times of services before visiting.

The tall tower above the recessed entrance was added in 1908, a century and a half after the nave was built. The church stands on a sloping village green that descends from west to east, so the building dominates the open space around it.
