Church of Saint Wenceslaus, Medieval church in Votice, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Wenceslaus in Votice is a Gothic structure featuring tall vertical lines and connected interior spaces linked by stone vaults and arches. The building displays typical medieval construction methods with columns and architectural details that organize the interior layout.

The church originated in the early 13th century in Gothic style, making it the oldest building in Votice. After a fire in 1731 only the 14th-century baptismal font and two tomb slabs from 1572 survived. It was then rebuilt in Baroque form, and in 1755 the Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk was added on the north side. The tower was raised in 1894, when clocks and an onion dome were installed.

The church is the parish church of the Roman Catholic parish of Votice, in the Benešov vicariate. Its dedication to Saint Wenceslaus follows the Bohemian patron saint, and the building stands on Kaplířovo náměstí next to the old castle. The tower, called "Václavka" by locals, is climbed by 135 steps.

The tower, called "Václavka" locally, is 35 metres high and reached by 135 steps; the climb is the only way to the viewing point. The church stands on Kaplířovo náměstí beside the old chateau, in the centre of Votice.
