Church of the Visitation of Our Lady, Early Baroque pilgrimage church in Skočice, Czech Republic.

The Church of the Visitation of Our Lady is an early Baroque octagonal central building with an octagonal inner ambulatory, a cloister vault in the centre and a barrel-vaulted walkway. Its pyramidal roof, now tiled instead of shingled, is topped by a lantern, and a rectangular sacristy was added to the north-east ambulatory wall in the mid-18th century. Above the west entrance are two coats of arms of the founders: a star for Ignác Karel of Šternberk and an eagle for Polyxena Ludmila.

Polyxena Ludmila Eusebie, Countess of Sternberg, born Žďárská of Žďár, had the chapel built in 1677–1678 with her second husband Ignác Karel of Sternberg, to house a copy of Lucas Cranach's image of Our Lady Helpful. The image survived the 1672 fire of the Skočice fortress. It was consecrated on 21 August 1678 by Jan Ignác Dlouhoveský, provost of St Vitus Cathedral. Prince Ferdinand of Schwarzenberg, who bought the estate in 1700, added altars and an outer octagonal ambulatory.

The pilgrimage image of Our Lady of Help, a copy of Lucas Cranach's painting in Passau, survived the 1672 fire of the Skočice fortress and was moved here at the consecration on 21 August 1678. The pilgrimage is held on the feast of the Visitation of Our Lady, 2 July.

The church is generally accessible to visitors during daylight and early evening hours, particularly when no services or ceremonies are taking place. It helps to check ahead or ask locally whether a service is scheduled.

The two coats of arms above the west entrance are those of the founders: a star for Count Ignác Karel of Šternberk and an eagle for Polyxena Ludmila of Šternberk, born Žďárská. The ambulatory also holds Stations of the Cross painted after designs by Josef Führich and hung there in 1914.
