Kostel sv. Jakuba Většího, Religious monument in Mirošov, Czech Republic.

The Church of St. James the Greater in Mirošov is a Baroque single-nave building with a rectangular plan and a flat ceiling, built in 1675 using remains of an older church. A prismatic tower with a cupola stands in the southwest corner. The main west entrance has two coats of arms on a sandstone slab and a niche with a statue of St. James above.

The church's founding year is unknown; it is thought to have been built with the vanished settlement of Chylice in the 12th century during the first colonisation of the Brdy region. It is first documented in 1295, when it paid a papal tax of eight groschen. Chylice was deserted by the end of the 16th century and recorded as abandoned in 1616; the surviving remains were used in 1675 to build a new Baroque parish church for Mirošov. The church and tower were repaired in 1773 and 1882.

The church is named for St. James the Greater, whose statue stands in a niche above the west entrance, between two coats of arms on a sandstone slab. The main altar painting shows James appearing to King Ramiro, urging him to fight the Saracens. The cemetery still serves burials for Mirošov, Hrádek, Mýto and Veselá.

The church stands in the cemetery grounds beside the road between Mirošov and Hrádek, on the site of the vanished village of Chylice. The main entrance faces west, with a second entrance from the south through a baroque gate in the cemetery wall; the sacristy in the northeast corner has its own door. The tower with its cupola is built into the southwest corner.

Four gravestones were set into the church interior during the 1882 repairs: two in the pillars under the gallery and two in the wall by the south entrance. One is a cast-iron slab for Zikmund Ondřej Samuel Emerich, young son of the Mirošov ironworks foreman, who died on 29 September 1704; though the youngest of the slabs, it imitates older Renaissance gravestones.
