Church of Saint Giles, Catholic church building in Chropyně, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Giles is a single-nave oriented building with a medieval core, rebuilt in the second half of the 18th century in Baroque style. It measures 25 m long and 10 m wide, and its prismatic tower, topped with a helmet, rises 16 m. A Marian chapel and a two-storey sacristy were added in 1876.

A late-Romanesque core from the mid-13th century was extended with a nave, bell tower and sacristy between 1761 and 1772, built on the order of Olomouc bishop Maxmilián of Hamilton and designed by his architect Ignác Josef Cyrani of Bolleshaus. Archbishop Colloredo-Waldsee consecrated the church on 10 September 1780. In 1876 Gustav Meretta's design added the Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes to the east side and enlarged the choir loft.

The church is the parish church of Chropyně, dedicated to Saint Giles. Its main altar holds a 1932 painting of the patron saint by Adolf Heller, flanked by 18th-century statues of Saints Nicholas and Procopius carved by F. O. Hirnle. A carved Stations of the Cross by Vratislav Buk lines the nave walls since 1907.

The church stands in the centre of Chropyně next to the chateau, right by road no. 436 between Kojetín and Přerov. A car park occupies the paved area in front of the building, with large stone statues of Saints Cyril and Methodius and a crucifix between them on its right side. A wooden cross is mounted on the facade beside the main entrance, and an open brick gate on the south side of the facade leads to a path to the sacristy and a side door.

The church stands next to the château by road no. 436 between Kojetín and Přerov, not on a square. In front, on the paved area used as a car park, are late-19th-century stone statues of Saints Cyril and Methodius with Christ on the cross between them.
