Church of Saint Wenceslaus, Medieval church in Kydliny, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Wenceslaus is a single-nave rectangular building with a polygonal presbytery and a square tower attached to the presbytery's north wall. The tower's north portal bears the year 1804. The south side of the nave has a narrow pointed Gothic portal, and the tower's windows are irregularly placed and partly walled up. The nave has a flat ceiling, while the gallery is vaulted with three bays of cross vaulting supported by two massive columns.

The church is first mentioned in 1352, making it one of the oldest churches in the Klatovy vicariate. The nave with presbytery was built in the Gothic period, at the beginning of the 14th century. A tower was added in the 15th–16th centuries and a gallery in the 16th–17th centuries, followed by Baroque and Neoclassical alterations in the 18th century.

Behind the church, a Stations of the Cross with 14 stops was built in 2019, continuing the site's use for local devotion. The church is the dominant landmark of the village square, and its dedication to Saint Wenceslaus follows the common Czech practice of placing churches under the country's patron saint.

The church stands on a slope at the very centre of Kydliny's village green, with a Stations of the Cross of 14 stops built behind it in 2019. The presbytery had to be buttressed because of the steep slope, so strong supports with moulded cornices are visible at its two eastern corners. An external staircase on the west side leads up to the gallery.

The building received official status as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic on March 25, 1964. This recognition highlights its importance as evidence of local architectural and religious heritage.
