Church of Saint Giles, Romanesque church in Milevsko, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Giles features semi-circular arches, thick stone walls, and a prominent bell tower that defines its Romanesque architectural style.

Built around 1150, the church became a central element of Milevsko during its early development as a crossroads for regional trade routes.

The church serves the Roman Catholic Diocese of České Budějovice and maintains regular religious services for local community members throughout the year.

The north wall contains an original Romanesque staircase that demonstrates medieval construction techniques and provides access to upper levels of the structure.
