Church of Saint Wenceslaus, Baroque church in Zvole, Czech Republic
The Church of Saint Wenceslaus features a Greek cross floor plan with two square towers flanking the eastern presbytery section of the building.
The current structure, completed between 1713 and 1717, replaced a small Gothic church from the early 14th century through renovation by Jan Santini Aichel.
The central lantern of the church roof represents a prince's cap, incorporating architectural elements that reference Saint Wenceslaus, the patron saint of Czech lands.
Located near Zdar nad Sazavou, the church maintains regular religious services and holds particular interest for those studying religious architecture.
The building's geometric design integrates circles within a square base, demonstrating the mathematical precision of Czech Baroque architectural principles.
