Evangelický kostel ve Velké Lhotě, Protestant church in Velká Lhota, Czech Republic.

The evangelical church in Velká Lhota is a wooden structure with a mansard roof covered in shingles and preserves its original architecture from the 18th century. The building maintains its historic interior layout designed for Protestant worship with a central gathering space.

The church was built in 1783 following the Toleration Patent of Emperor Joseph II, which granted religious freedom to Protestant denominations in the Czech lands. The structure marks a time when Protestant congregations could openly practice their faith after periods of restriction.

The interior follows Protestant principles with simple furnishings and oval table-centered pews, where biblical quotations displayed on dark boards replace religious artwork. This layout reflects a faith focused on scripture and spoken word rather than visual decoration.

The church is typically accessible during services and located about 11 kilometers (7 miles) north of Vsetín. Visiting hours may vary depending on the season and local activities, so it is worth checking in advance.

The church has no bell tower, no bells and no statues or paintings inside, because the Toleration Patent forbade them; even the entrance could not face the main road and the windows had to stay small. Its furnishings were never modernised, largely because the congregation was poor.
