The origin of today's Protestant church of St. James indicates an early history, possibly already at the turn of the first millennium. This church was burnt down by the Hussites in 1430 and rebuilt in 1449. It survived heavy floods and fires and was extended architecturally in 1936 to a dome in the form of an octagon with overlying dome.
The church is located on the market square of Oberkotzau and unfortunately is usually closed.

An interesting church, which has an old nave from the 18th century and an eight-bay extension from the 1930s.

A very beautiful church.

It is probably one of the oldest churches
in the region, as its origins date back to the turn of the first millennium.
