Baroque church of St. Clement (Kostel Sv. Klimenta), Roman Catholic parish church in Odolena Voda, is dominant piece of architecture of the village. The Church, built in 1733–1735 on the site of medieval church, is work of leading Bohemian architect of Baroque era - Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer. Church's construction was funded by Jesuit's College Clementinum in Prague.

Beautiful spacious frescoes, numerous statues and rich altar paintings are work of several Jesuit artists - for example: Jan Kuben (paintings), Jan Hanika (statues) and Karel Habermann (gilder). Church was consecrated in September 1740. Church's central nave has a wall in the shape of flowing depressed-convex curve with rounded edges. This central space is integrated with oval presbytery and choir loft tied together with entrance bell tower in one side and sacristy on the second side. Trinanguloid lateral risalits are crowned by angel's statues and large monograms of Christ and Virgin Mary. The tower's western wall is decorated by statuary of St. Clement, patron of the Church.
