Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, Roman Catholic church in Druztová, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Mary Magdalene is a church building in Druztova featuring characteristic Baroque elements and solid stone construction. The structure displays typical architectural style features of its period both on its exterior and inside.

The church is originally a Gothic structure built in 1351 by Racek of Švamberk with the archbishop's permission, replacing the hard-to-reach church in Dýšina for Druztová's faithful. Its first priest, Jan, served from 1351 to 1360 and also cared for Věžka castle and the villages of Druztová and Dolany. It was damaged during the Hussite wars and the parish lapsed. The presbytery was vaulted in 1632, the church enlarged and rebuilt in 1699, and in 1701 it was raised to parish status with a separate parish established in Druztová by decision of the mayor and council of Plzeň.

The church is dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene and its annual parish feast, or posvícení, is still tied to her feast day. The building stands about 200 metres east of the village edge, so the walk to it follows the old approach from Druztová. A stone wall encloses the cemetery around the church.

The church stands about 200 metres from the eastern edge of Druztová, surrounded by its walled cemetery with the Baroque mortuary in the same enclosure. The tower's shingle roof was repaired in 1995 and the church roof in 2000. Approach on foot from the village along the lane leading east.

The church stands about 200 metres from the eastern edge of Druztová; when it was founded, wooden houses of the villagers surrounded it and a rectory stood nearby. The rectory disappeared during the Hussite wars, when the church itself was damaged. The cemetery wall and the Baroque mortuary from the first half of the 18th century survive in the enclosed grounds.
