Church of Saint Dionysius, Baroque church in Horní Lhota, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Dionysius is a single-nave plastered stone building with a rectangular plan and a three-sided apse, standing on a slope above the centre of Horní Lhota. A prismatic tower with a sheet-metal dome, finial and cross rises at the west front, and a sacristy adjoins the north side. The smooth facades are pierced by segmental-arched windows, and the main entrance has a sandstone portal with carved corners and drops, with the year 1746 cut into the lintel.

The church was built around 1700 on the site of a wooden church from the 15th century. It was rebuilt several times, notably in 1808 and between 1857 and 1872. The sandstone portal of the main entrance bears the date 1746, the year of the larger of its two bells, which carries a relief of Saint Dionysius.

The parish belongs to the Roman Catholic parish of Horní Lhota, deanery of Valašské Klobouky, Archdiocese of Olomouc. The high altar painting of Saint Dionysius blessing was originally from the Velehrad monastery; damaged in transport, it was replaced in 1902 by a new painting by Joža Uprka based on the original.

The church stands on a slope above the centre of Horní Lhota, with a cemetery around it enclosed by a wall. The main entrance is in the west tower, under a sandstone portal carved with the year 1746; a side entrance opens through the south facade. The tower stairs are reached through a small annex on the right side of the tower.

The sandstone portal above the main entrance bears the carved date 1746, the same year as the larger of the two tower bells, which carries a relief of Saint Dionysius. The smaller bell was hung in 1827.
