Late-Baroque church of St. Wenceslaus (Kostel Sv. Václava), built in 1743-1756, is not only one of town's landmarks but also the parish church of Mníšek pod Brdy Roman Catholic parish.
Church of St. Wenceslaus, located at main public space of market town Mníšek pod Brdy - F. X. Svoboda Square (námestí F. X. Svobody), is a single nave late-Baroque structure built in 1743-1756. The architect of the church, which construction was funded by owner of Mníšek demesne count Václav Ignác of Unwerth, was most likely Kilián Dienzenhofer Jr. The neo-Romanesque (50 m high) bell tower was added lately, in year 1868. Church was reconstructed in 1996-2000.
