The St. Michael's Church in Rovná is a former parish church that once stood in the town of Čistá. Built in the mid-17th century, after the Thirty Years' War, as part of the recatholicization of the region, this baroque church features a unique bell tower with a ciborium and a lantern, as well as a polygonal presbytery.
Originally built as a Renaissance building in the mid-16th century, the church's exact date and architect are unknown. The local parish was first mentioned in 1551. In 1774-1775, the church was rebuilt in the baroque style by Wenzel Hausmann, a Tepelský stavitel. The new church had a polygonal presbytery and a massive bell tower with a ciborium and a lantern.
The church changed ownership several times: it belonged to the parish of Čistá, then to the local committee, and later to the state. After World War II, the church was abandoned and eventually demolished. A memorial now stands on the site where the church once stood.
