Baroque-Neo-Romanesque Church of St. Ludmila (Kostel svaté Ludmily), a part of Chvaly Chateau complex, is parish church of Roman Catholic parish Prague-Chvaly.

St. Ludmila church is structurally connected with the side wing of the Chateau Chvaly (former fortress). On the site of current church was a single-nave chateau chapel of St. Anne, built by the Jesuits. The chapel was rebuilt and enlarged in Baroque style in 1793-1794, while the original chapel became the presbytery of the new church, and a new choir with an organ was added. The Neo-Romanesque bell tower was constructed in 1825. The church underwent a major reconstruction in 1997-1999.
