Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows Church (Kostel Panny Marie Sedmibolestné), located in Bílé predmestí district of Pardubice, is a small simple Baroque single nave building from the beginning of the 18th century.

Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows Church was built by Jakub Pešina thanks to impulse and finantial support of Pardubice' devout merchant Jakub Antonín Štros. The church's cornerstone was laid on July 4, 1710 and already in the same year the first worship was held in a new church. The church was originally surrounded by a cemetery, so its precinct is still defined by Baroque stone wall erected in 1715. During the reign of Emperor Joseph II., in 1786, was church abolished and became a city' timber storage. Church was reconsecrated eventually in 1791 thanks to persmission of Emperor Leopold II, but without abolished cemetery. Reconstructed generally in 2006, originally Roman-Catholic rite church serves nowadays to Czech Greek-Catholic (Czech Catholics of Byzantine Rite) parish in Pardubice.
