Church of St. Lawrence, Medieval filial church in Prčice, Czech Republic

The Church of St. Lawrence is a Romanesque-origin church, later rebuilt in Gothic style, with a Baroque cupola on its tower. It stands on Vítkovo náměstí in Prčice, part of Sedlec-Prčice in the Příbram district, and has been a cultural monument since 1965. The lower part of the tower keeps a narrow arrow slit.

The Church of St. Lawrence was founded probably in the 11th century, though it is documented only in the third quarter of the 12th century, when Witiko I of Prčice is mentioned in 1179. The Vítkovci family, owners of the estate, founded it; the lower part of the tower with a narrow arrow slit suggests the original church also served a defensive role. It was later rebuilt in Gothic style and received a Baroque dome on the tower.

The church is a filial church, not an active parish, and its name day is celebrated on 10 August. The main altar holds a painting of St. Lawrence commissioned by Jan Vít Malovec, and the interior contains tombstones of local noble families, one said to belong to Jakub Krčín of Jelčany and Sedlčany or to his daughter from nearby Mitrovice.

The church is a filial church, not an active parish church, so regular opening hours are not guaranteed. It stands on Vítkovo náměstí in Prčice, part of Sedlec-Prčice in the Příbram district, and is a cultural monument. The tower's lower section, with its narrow arrow slit, is visible from outside.

The lower part of the tower, with its narrow arrow slit, suggests the original church also served a defensive role. A secret underground passage is said to have linked it to the fortress about 200 m away, on the site of today's Prčice chateau.
