Church of Saint John the Baptist, Gothic church in Frýdek, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint John the Baptist is a Gothic house of worship featuring high vaulted ceilings, stone walls, and pointed arches. The structure showcases typical medieval architectural elements that define both its exterior and interior spaces.

The Gothic core, probably from the second half of the 14th century, was first documented in 1447 in the register of the Opole archdeaconry; Prince Kazimierz II established a chaplaincy there in 1490. The nave and the Chapel of St Anne were added as the town grew, and the church passed to Lutheran pastors between 1554 and 1581. Fires in 1592, 1688 and 11 April 1848 destroyed the tower and furnishings; the present form dates from the repairs led by parish priest Karel Findinský.

The church is the parish church of the Frýdek parish of Saint John the Baptist, and its patron is also the patron saint of the Wrocław diocese. Services were long held in Czech and Polish in this border town. The tower now holds a permanent exhibition, "Pohledy do dějin farnosti Frýdek", on the history of the parish.

The church stands near Frýdecké náměstí in the Frýdek district, by the Ostravice river. A permanent exhibition, "Pohledy do dějin farnosti Frýdek", is installed in the upper part of the tower. The tower cracked beneath the belfry and repairs began in 1993; the tower was clad in copper sheet in 1974.

The tower's present form dates from 1876, when a neo-Gothic belfry storey was added to the earlier prismatic shaft; the tower had cracked beneath the bells and was repaired from 1993. It holds three bells, the largest, Maria, weighing 1,450 kg. The upper part of the tower now houses a permanent exhibition on the history of the Frýdek parish.
