Church of Saint Wenceslaus, Empire-style church in Harrachov, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Wenceslaus is an Empire-style parish church built in stone between 1822 and 1828, replacing earlier wooden structures on the site. A prismatic clock tower with a belfry rises above the four-sided roof, and the facade is divided by broad pilaster strips framing semicircular-headed windows. Inside, the nave and presbytery are both vaulted with shallow domes.

A wooden chapel stood on the site from 1730, replaced in 1788 by a wooden church. The growing glassmaking town and the patronage of the Harrach counts led to the present stone church, built between 1822 and 1828. It was entered in the Czech register of cultural monuments on 26 March 1964 under number 29609/6-2528.

The church is dedicated to Saint Wenceslaus, patron saint of Bohemia. Its 1864 altar is partly made of glass, and a large glass chandelier from 1828 hangs inside; both were produced in the Harrachov glassworks, the industry that drove the town's growth and the building of this stone church.

The church stands in Harrachov, in the Czech Republic, and is a cultural monument. Its prismatic clock tower with the bell storey rises above the four-sided roof, so the tower is the easiest feature to spot when orienting yourself in the town.

The church went without bells for 80 years: the original three were requisitioned in World War I, their 1922 replacements were seized again in 1942, and only in May 2022 were three new bells hung, cast by Petr Rudolf Manoušek and partly funded by a public collection.
