Church of Saint Catherine in Hořice na Šumavě, Gothic church in Hořice na Šumavě, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Catherine stands with its stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and architectural elements from the late 15th century in the town center.

Built between 1483 and 1510, this religious structure replaced an older Romanesque church that previously occupied the same location in Hořice na Šumavě.

The church maintains regular Catholic services and represents a central element of religious life for the 900 inhabitants of this South Bohemian market town.

Visitors can reach the church via the I/39 road connecting to Český Krumlov, with railway connections available from České Budějovice to Nové Údolí.

The church forms part of an urban monument zone featuring seven stone fountains, including one decorated with a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk.
