Church of Saint James the Greater, Catholic parish church in Světlík, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint James the Greater in Světlík is a single-nave parish church with a three-sided apse and buttresses against the apse. The lower part of the tower dates from the 13th century, while the upper part is octagonal. Inside the presbytery are two tombstones from 1570 and 1577, and the organ dates from the late 19th century.

The church dates from the mid-13th century; its tower's lower section survives from that period. It was damaged in 1423 during the Hussite wars, enlarged in 1663, and remodelled in Neo-Romanesque style between 1872 and 1874. A full reconstruction followed in 1991–1998, and two new bells of 200 and 400 kg, cast by Rudolf Perner in Passau, were consecrated on 25 July 1999.

The parish church belongs to the Roman Catholic parish of Světlík and forms part of a listed monument ensemble together with the 18th-century rectory and the niche chapel of St John of Nepomuk. Two bells cast by Rudolf Perner's workshop in Passau were consecrated here on 25 July 1999, weighing 200 and 400 kg.

The church is located in the village center of Světlík and is easily accessible on foot. You can see the building from the main road and access the regular parish services.

The lower part of the tower dates from the 13th century, while the upper part is octagonal. Inside the chancel are two tombstones from 1570 and 1577, and the organ dates from the late 19th century.
