Church of Saint Nicholas in Dobřany, Baroque church in Dobřany, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Nicholas stands with a massive nave supported by intersecting ellipsoids and features a copper-domed chancel at its eastern end.

Construction of the current structure began in 1704 under architect Christoph Dientzenhofer, replacing a 13th-century Gothic church at the same location.

The interior contains frescoes by artists Jan Lukas Kracker and František Xaver Palko, demonstrating the richness of Czech Baroque religious art.

The church holds regular Catholic services and functions as the main religious building in the town square of Dobřany.

Count Wenceslaus Kolowrat-Liebsteinsky contributed 178,500 gold pieces to fund the construction of this religious monument.
