Church of Saint Nicholas, Church building in Rychaltice, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Nicholas is a small rural Baroque basilica built in 1726–1729, with a single nave 24 m long and 14 m wide, a rectangular presbytery 8 m long, and a slender tower topped by an onion dome. Four statues of saints stand in niches in the presbytery.

A wooden church is said to have stood here from 1506. The current building was erected between 1726 and 1729 under Bishop Wolfgang Hannibal Count Schrattenbach by builder Václav Blažka of Kroměříž and carpenter Václav Mareček of Rybí. It was consecrated on 5 August 1742 by Bishop Jakob Count of Liechtenstein. In 1998 the tower was tied to the nave with four steel cables and the nave encircled by a steel frame; the exterior plaster was 80% removed and replaced.

The church is the parish church of the Rychaltice parish and is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, whose image hangs on the main altar. The altarpiece was donated by Prince Lichtenstein, and four statues of saints stand in niches in the presbytery.

The church stands in Rychaltice, part of the municipality of Hukvaldy in the Frýdek-Místek district. A stairway built in 1881 and repaired by parishioners in 1994 leads up to it from the district road. The presbytery measures 8 m long, the nave 24 m long and 14 m wide.

The church was consecrated on 5 August 1742 by Bishop Jakob, Count of Liechtenstein; twelve gilded crosses were placed on the side walls to mark the event, but none survive. The main altar bears a painting of Saint Nicholas donated by the Prince of Liechtenstein, by an unknown artist.
