Church of Saint Vitus, Romanesque Revival church in Kvílice, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Vitus is a single-nave Romanesque Revival building of mixed brick and dressed stone masonry, with a rectangular plan and a recessed semicircular apse. The west facade has a triangular gable with a cross, a stone portal with a relief of the cross in the tympanum, and a rose window. A sacristy and side entrance with porch stand on the south side.

The first written record of a church here dates to 1366. The original building burned down after a lightning strike in 1884, and a new church was built in 1886–1887 to plans by Rudolf Štech. It was consecrated on 9 October 1887.

The church is a filial church of the Roman Catholic parish of Slaný. Its interior holds a Renaissance tin baptismal font dated 1663, and the 1904 stained-glass windows in the apse show Saint John of Nepomuk, the Annunciation and an ornamental design.

The church stands on the highest point at the northern edge of Kvílice, within a walled cemetery with two entrances: a pointed-arch gate on the south side and a plain rectangular opening on the north. The building is a Roman Catholic filial church of the Slaný parish, so it is normally open only for services.

The church interior holds a Renaissance tin baptismal font dated 1663, older than the present building. The organ on the wooden choir loft was made in 1887 by Josef Rejna & Josef Černý of Prague, with one manual and seven registers. A 1904 stained-glass window in the apse shows Saint John of Nepomuk.
