Church of Saint Nicholas, Religious monument in Telce, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Nicholas stands on the eastern edge of Telce, surrounded by a cemetery wall. It has a rectangular nave with a square presbytery, a ground-floor oratory on the south side and a tower at the western facade. The tower's sandstone blocks with recessed joints and its staircase built inside the wall are late Romanesque; the rest was rebuilt in 1779–1786, leaving the tower and a 1492 bell from the original furnishing.

The church is first documented in 1352, when it paid 21 groschen of papal tithe. Its tower, built of large sandstone blocks with recessed joints and a staircase within the wall, is the oldest part and predates that record. In 1779–1786 the church was rebuilt entirely in Baroque style except for the tower; only a bell from 1492 survived from the old furnishings. After the Hussite Wars the parish became Utraquist, and after the Thirty Years' War the church lost its parish status to Peruc.

After the Hussite Wars the parish became Utraquist, and after the Thirty Years' War the church lost its parish status, becoming part of the Peruc parish. In 1846 the inhabitants of Telce petitioned to restore it as a parish church, but the request was not granted. The name of the first known priest, Sulek, installed in 1368, is recorded.

The church stands on the eastern edge of Telce, surrounded by a cemetery wall, not in the town centre. The tower's late Romanesque sandstone blocks and the walled stairway are visible from outside; the interior is largely unfurnished, so there is little to see beyond the 1915 Rejna and Černý organ and the 1492 bell.

The tower is the oldest part, built of large sandstone blocks with recessed joints typical of the late Romanesque period, and it holds a staircase built inside the wall thickness. The tower is therefore older than the first written mention of the church in 1352. A bell from 1492 survived the 1779–1786 rebuilding.
