The Church of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church (Kostel Církve ceskoslovenské husitské) in Votice was built in Modernist style in 1925.
The modernist church of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church was built in 1925 according to the project of the architect Tomáš Šašek. The dominant feature of the church is the 18 meter high tower, which is finished with a copper chalice and hides the bell of Jan Hus from Diepolt's bell workshop in Prague. The interior of the church has a plank ceiling, supported by six square columns. Behind the semicircular triumphal arch is a simple altar and above it, between the busts of Jan Hus and Amos Comenius, a large cross with Christ, a reproduction of the work of Fratišek Bílek. The first local priest was Antonín Regál, former superior of the Franciscan monastery in Votice.
