Saint Andrew church, Catholic church in Světí, Czech Republic.

Saint Andrew Church is a single-nave Baroque church in Světí, with a rectangular nave, a three-sided presbytery and a prismatic tower with a sacristy on the ground floor standing by the south side of the presbytery. The main altar was painted by Ondřej Maywald of Hradec Králové, and tombstones line the church walls.

First mentioned in 1365 as a Gothic church, it passed after the Hussite wars by imperial decree to Matěj Salava z Lípy. The Hamzové ze Zábědovic family acquired the estate in the mid-16th century; the church was remodelled in Renaissance style at the end of that century and rebuilt in its present Baroque form at the end of the 18th century. In 1866, during the Austro-Prussian War, Prussian troops camped at Světí and used the church as a field hospital for over sixty wounded. It was declared a cultural monument in 1964.

The church is a filial church of the parish based in Hradec Králové, so regular services are not held here. Its bells carried inscriptions; the oldest, cast in 1539 by Václav Konvář of Hradec Králové, measures 92 cm in diameter. Two bells hang in the tower today, the third having been requisitioned in 1942.

The church stands in Světí, Hradec Králové District, with a prismatic tower on the south side of the three-sided presbytery and the sacristy at its ground level. It is a filial church, so services are not held here regularly; access to the interior is arranged locally. Visitors can walk around the exterior and see the tombstones set along the walls.

The oldest bell, cast in 1539 by Václav Konvář of Hradec Králové, measures 92 cm across and carries an inscription; it was requisitioned for war use in World War I. Of three bells once hung here, only two remain: one was recast in 1898 and melted down in World War I, the death bell cast in 1768 was seized in 1942.
