Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, Roman Catholic church in Svatá Maří, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Mary Magdalene is a Roman Catholic building in Svatá Maří, with a rectangular main hall and a tall tower that rises above the village roofline. The structure displays stonework walls and windows that open toward the surrounding countryside.

A church existed here by 1352, when the settlement was recorded as "Ad S. Marie in Laz"; confirmation rites are documented in 1359 and a chaplain in 1414. The parish lapsed in the 17th century, and the village was attached to Malenice. In the first half of the 18th century the church was rebuilt in Baroque style to plans by Anton Erhard Martinelli, and the parish was renewed; the west tower and the choir loft with its staircase were added later.

The parish lapsed in the 17th century and the village was attached to Malenice; the parish was renewed during the 18th-century Baroque rebuilding. The churchyard wall encloses the cemetery and a mortuary, with a cross standing before the gate. The parish church stands next to the parish house and the former school.

Access to the building is available through a marked pathway from the village center, with parking spaces nearby for convenience. Visitors should dress respectfully since it remains an active place of worship.

The ten-sided stone baptismal font in the nave carries four coats of arms; three are identified as those of the Budkovský of Budkov (a beam), the Nebřehovský (two keys) and the lords of Čestice (a rose and a carp). The church also keeps three old Gothic bells, listed in 1913, counted among the oldest in South Bohemia.
