Church of Saint Wenceslaus, Gothic church in Svojšice, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Wenceslaus stands on a hill in Svojšice, surrounded by an oval wall enclosing a former cemetery. The single-nave building has a square presbytery, a rectangular sacristy on the north side, and a three-sided porch on the west facade. A four-storey tower with a bulbous dome rises at the south side of the nave.

The church was first recorded in 1352 in the papal tithe registers. From 1421 it served the Utraquists, and in 1626 the estate owner Karel Eusebius Mracký converted to Catholicism and the church was restored in Catholic style. Count Michael Oswald of Thun-Hohenstein had it rebuilt in early Baroque style in 1678, and in 1773 it was rebuilt to a design by Prague architect Jan Josef Wirch, financed by Count Michael Jan V of Althann. Lightning struck the tower in 1798 and repairs were completed in 1807; a porch was added to the west facade in 1825.

The church is named for Saint Wenceslaus, to whom the main altar of 1773 is dedicated; the 1929 ceiling painting by Jaroslav Major shows a priest giving the host to Wenceslaus and Saint Ludmila. Services are held every Saturday at 14:00, and the former cemetery around the church is enclosed by an oval wall with a vaulted decorative gate.

The building is regularly open to visitors, especially during services. It is helpful to check beforehand when public visiting times are available outside of scheduled masses.

Only one of the tower's bells survives: cast in 1576 by the Prague bell-founder Brikcí z Cimperka, it was acquired under Jan the Younger of Valdštejn, then owner of the estate. The church also kept a chalice by Andreas Kraus of Kutná Hora, stolen in the 1990s.
