Saint Bartholomew church in Chęciny, Gothic church building on Zamkowa Mountain, Chęciny, Poland.

The Saint Bartholomew church stands on a rock terrace cut into the slope of Zamkowa Mountain at 300 meters above sea level.

The construction of this religious structure began in 1315 under Władysław the Elbow-High and reached completion during Kazimierz III the Great's reign.

Between 1568 and 1603, the building changed its religious function to become a Protestant house of worship for the Calvinist community.

The church features octagonal pillars supporting side naves, with a 17th-century vestibule entrance displaying a tunnel vault design.

A Renaissance chapel built in 1614 contains the mummified remains of Kacper Fodyga, a Swiss miner and alderman of Chęciny.
