Church of Saint Nicholas, Religious structure in Zdemyslice, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Nicholas is a church building located in Zdemyslice, Czech Republic. The structure displays features typical of regional ecclesiastical architecture and is now protected as a national cultural monument.

The Gothic church was probably built in the mid-14th century; it is documented in 1371, when the abbot of the Nepomuk monastery appointed a parish priest in Zdemyslice, and it appears in a 1384 list of parishes of the České Budějovice diocese. It was altered in Baroque style in the 18th century and rebuilt in Neo-Gothic style in the 19th century, with repairs in 1833. Lightning set the tower on fire in 1927, and the church has been a cultural monument since 1963.

The church is documented in 1371, when the abbot of the Nepomuk monastery appointed a parish priest in Zdemyslice; it also appears in the 1384 list of parishes of the České Budějovice diocese. Its main altar, made in 1719, was destroyed by a deliberately set fire in 1953 and replaced in 1954 by an altar brought from České Budějovice, which now holds mid-18th-century statues of Saint Nicholas and Saint John of Nepomuk.

The church stands in the middle of the former cemetery, enclosed by a wall whose southern side has an entrance gate and a Tuscan column with an iron cross from the mid-19th century. The cemetery by the church was closed in 1938, when a new one was founded on the southern edge of the village.

The church once had two bells. The first was requisitioned for war purposes in 1916; the second, cast in 1765, was seized in 1942 but found in Prague after the war and returned to the tower.
