Church of Saint Margaret, Religious monument in Břežany, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Margaret is a Roman Catholic Baroque church in Břežany, in the Rakovník district. It stands as the village's protected cultural monument, listed as such on 31 December 1965. Its present Baroque form dates from the first half of the 18th century, replacing earlier churches on the site.

The first church in Břežany is documented in the 14th century; in 1414 Jan Hus is said to have preached there while staying at nearby Krakovce Castle. It was devastated in the Hussite wars, and a new church built in 1560 was reduced to ruins in the Thirty Years' War. The present Baroque church was built in the first half of the 18th century and listed as a cultural monument on 3 May 1958.

The church is dedicated to Saint Margaret. According to local tradition, the reformer Jan Hus may have preached here in 1414 while staying at nearby Krakovets Castle. The building has been listed as a cultural monument since 3 May 1958, and since 31 December 1965 it has been under heritage protection.

The church is best reached on foot from the village center and sits on a quiet path away from main roads. Visitors should ask locally whether services or events are scheduled before stopping by.

According to local tradition, the reformer Jan Hus may have preached in the earlier church here in 1414, while staying at nearby Krakov castle. That medieval church was devastated in the Hussite wars, and its successor, built in 1560, was reduced to a ruin during the Thirty Years' War.
