Church of St. Martin (Kostel Sv. Martina), a Roman Catholic parish church built in the neo-Romanesque style in the years 1876-1878, is located in Masarykova Street in the town of Mšeno in Melník County.
St. Martin is a three-nave church, built on the site of several older churches (first was from 1050...), with a semicircular presbytery, sacristy, oratory on the sides and a prismatic tower in the facade, covered by a saddle, at the end a semicircular roof. The church, architecturally high-quality neo-Romanesque building by the Prague builder Josef Kaura, is a significant urban landmark of Mšeno and the surrounding area.
The author of the decoration of the main altar, which was donated by Alois Mündl and his wife together with the side altar, the pulpit and the Stations of the Cross, is Josef Vojtech Hellich (1807-1880). The altar of the Holy Sepulcher, part of the organ and the new bell are a gift from Dean František Kondelík (1912), who is buried in the local cemetery. The author of the paintings on the side altars is Josef Scheiwl.
