Church of Saint Paul, Catholic church in Pouchov, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Paul is a late-Baroque single-nave church surrounded by a cemetery, built from 1780 by Jan Kurz. Its square presbytery has a sacristy on the south side and carries an octagonal lantern with an onion dome; the 33 m tower is already Neoclassical, topped by an onion roof with an octagonal lantern and finial. The saddle roof is covered with plain tiles.

The church was built from 1780 as a replacement for the demolished Church of Saint Paul on Slezské Předměstí, which was torn down in 1778 for the Hradec Králové fortress. Dean Moritz Klier consecrated the unfinished building on 29 June 1781. The tower and west facade were completed in 1832 under innkeeper Jan Richter, and the church was consecrated in 1833. It became a parish church in 1784 and was listed as a cultural monument in 1964.

The main altar holds a Baroque painting of Saint Paul, and above it a plaster image by Josef Kramolín shows Paul preaching on the Areopagus in Athens. The side altar of Saint Wenceslas was bought by the city of Hradec Králové in 1786 from the former Jesuit seminary chapel, and Adolf Russ painted its new image in 1868.

The church stands on a slope above the Elbe in Pouchov, surrounded by its cemetery, with the graves of local families and a World War I memorial and a Jan Hus monument nearby. The tower reaches 33 m, so it can be used as a landmark when orienting yourself in the district. The grounds are open to visitors who come to see the church and the cemetery.

Above the main altar, a plaster painting by Josef Kramolín shows Saint Paul preaching on the Areopagus in Athens, a scene rarely found in Czech church interiors. The single-manual organ was built by Emanuel Štěpán Petr in 1901. The tower holds four bells, including Saint Paul (1949, 380 kg) and Anežka Česká (2011, 260 kg).
