Church of Saint Michael, Baroque cemetery church in Děpoltovice, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Michael is a single-nave Baroque cemetery church built in 1786–1787 to plans by builder Josef Seifert of Karlovy Vary. It stands on a rectangular plan (12 × 19.8 m) with a recessed three-sided apse, a saddle roof and an octagonal lantern with an onion dome on the ridge. The facade has lizene frames, a volute triangular gable with a clock and the date 1786, and a rectangular stone portal.

The church was built in 1786–1787 on the site of a 16th-century Renaissance church, to plans by builder Josef Seifert of Karlovy Vary; the foundation stone was laid on 4 April 1786 and the carpenter Martin Höhnel of Ostrov took part. The sacristy of the older church survives, with the Šlik tomb and a tin coffin beneath it. The church was repaired in 2009 with support from the Karlovy Vary Region.

The church belongs to the Roman Catholic parish of Ostrov in the Karlovy Vary vicariate of the Plzeň diocese. Its main wooden altar, with an illusionistic painted column decoration, was made in 1796 by the sculptor and painter Wenzel Lorenz of Hroznětín, and side portals were added in 1870. The bell in the octagonal roof turret was cast in 1576 by Greger Albrecht of Ostrov.

The site is located in a quiet rural setting and is easiest to reach by car. The building is visible from the outside, but checking opening hours in advance is wise if you want to view the interior.

The bell in the octagonal roof turret was cast in 1576 by Greger Albrecht of Ostrov; it is 0.57 m tall and 0.62 m across and carries a relief inscription naming the bell founder and Schlackenwerth. The church also keeps a tin coffin in the Šlik tomb beneath the sacristy.
