Church of Saint Adalbert, Church building in Lštění, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Adalbert in Lštění is a single-nave Baroque church built in 1739–1741 to a design by Anton Erhard Martinelli, with a tower in its west facade and an east-facing orientation. Its rectangular Gothic presbytery, now the sacristy, has a cross-vaulted stone ceiling with broad chamfered ribs. The nave, 20.6 m long and 11.73 m wide, is vaulted with lunettes and lined with pilasters; the tower cross sits at 902 m above sea level.

An early Gothic church from the mid-13th century stood here, first mentioned before 1354 and later surrounded by a vaulted ambulatory with the Chapel of Our Lady of Klatovy. After lightning struck the old church, a larger Baroque church by Anton Erhard Martinelli was built in 1739–1741; the stonemason was Matěj Plánský of Krumlov. It was consecrated in 1743 by vicar Matěj Schulpach and re-consecrated in 2004 after reconstruction.

The village was nicknamed Svatý Vojtěch or Vojtěch after the church, and the building has been a South Bohemian pilgrimage site since the mid-17th century. The main altar holds a small statue of St. Adalbert flanked by St. Wenceslas and St. John of Nepomuk; the side altars, made by Muck in 1755–1756, are dedicated to St. Joseph and the Virgin Mary.

The church stands on the northeastern edge of Lštění, oriented to the east with its tower in the western facade. The area is enclosed by the cemetery wall, and a cross from 1857 stands before the gate. The roof is now metal, with a pear-shaped form and a sanctus bell turret above the presbytery.

The tower cross sits at 902 m above sea level, making this one of the highest church towers in the Czech Republic. The village itself was nicknamed Svatý Vojtěch or Vojtěch after the church. The south facade bears a painting of St. Adalbert by Jindřich Boška after a design by Michael Florian, with a sundial beneath it.
