Church of Saint James the Greater, Historic religious monument in Vojkov, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint James the Greater is a small single-nave Romanesque church with a lower, rectangular presbytery and a south-side sacristy with an oratory above. A tall square tower with a clock and a red pyramidal roof with a spire rises on the right, while a small dark wooden bell tower with a cross stands over the left section. Rough stone quoins contrast with smooth plastered walls, and the churchyard has an irregular plan enclosed by a wall with massive outer buttresses.

The church was probably built around 1200 in Romanesque style. A written record from 1352 mentions the church and parish, when the priest paid 15 groschen of papal tithe and the building was rebuilt in Gothic style. A tower was added in the 16th century, and a new sacristy beside the presbytery in the 19th century, followed by a re-consecration on 1 January 1899. The parish was merged with Sedlčany in 2009.

The church is dedicated to Saint James the Greater (Jakub Starší), from whom the village's parish took its name. Since 2009 the former independent parish of Vojkov has been merged with Sedlčany, so the building is now a filial church served from there, and Masses are still held. The church and the neighbouring former rectory (No. 31) are jointly listed as a cultural monument.

Visitors can find the church in Vojkov within the Benešov district and explore the adjacent cemetery grounds. Daytime visits work best for viewing the architectural details and surrounding village area in good light.

The churchyard and former parish house attracted filmmakers: exterior shots appeared in episodes 10 and 25 of the series 30 případů majora Zemana, where Vojkov stood in for the fictional village of Plánice, and interior shots were used in several episodes of Život na zámku.
