Church of Saint Wenceslaus, Religious monument in Chvojínek, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Wenceslaus is a church building in Chvojínek featuring a central altar decorated with religious artwork and paintings. The interior displays detailed stonework with religious motifs throughout the space.

The Church of Saint Wenceslaus was built in 1262 on a hill above the village in the early Gothic style. The royal workshop active in Písek and at Zvíkov Castle probably took part in its construction. During the evacuation of the Neveklov region for the Waffen-SS training ground, the late 17th-century main altar was removed and never reinstalled; a smaller Baroque altar with illusionistic marbling replaced it.

The church is a filial church of the Neveklov parish, and its patronal feast of Saint Wenceslaus is still observed. The small chandelier and a small painting of Saint Wenceslaus came from the church of the Sisters of Saint Borromeo in Prague's Malá Strana. The main altar from the late 17th century shows the saint in armour and a long cloak between two angels.

The church stands on a hill above the village, oriented to the southeast, and is entered through a porch on its north side; the sacristy adjoins the south wall. The building is small, so a visit takes little time. It is a branch church of the Neveklov parish, and the interior is not kept open daily.

The church bells were documented in 1911: a 0.5 m bell from the second half of the 15th century and a second cast in 1850 by Karel Bellmann. A small chandelier and a small painting of Saint Wenceslaus came from the church of the Sisters of Saint Borromeo in Prague's Malá Strana.
