Church of Saints Simon and Jude, Neoclassical church in Milíkov u Mariánských Lázní, Czech Republic
The Church of Saints Simon and Jude in Milíkov is a single-nave late Neoclassical stone building on a rectangular plan with a recessed square presbytery and a sacristy on the north side. A prismatic tower with a helmet roof and clock face rises in the narrower western facade, which is divided by lizen frames and a cornice. The nave has pilasters, rounded corners and a west gallery on two pillars.
The building was constructed in the 19th century as a neoclassical religious structure reflecting the architectural style of that period. It received official status as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic in 2000.
The church serves the Catholic community through religious services while representing the architectural traditions of rural Czech religious buildings.
The church stands in the Milíkov u Mariánských Lázní cadastral area in the Cheb district, next to the former chateau where the octagonal chapel once stood. It is owned by the municipality, so access depends on village events; the building is used for services, concerts and exhibitions. Mariánské Lázně is the nearest spa town for transport connections.
The structure carries identification number 1000163740 in the Czech Monument Catalogue, confirming its status among protected religious buildings in the country.
