The Church of Saint Anthony of Padua is a Roman Catholic church in Kuřimská Nová Ves in the Brno-venkov district. It did not arise from the will of the nobility or church authorities, but thanks to the local people.
A society was established in the village for its construction. This society organized preparatory work and held fundraising collections. The foundation stone was blessed in nineteen thirty-three. After four years, in nineteen thirty-seven, the church was completed and consecrated on June twenty-seventh.
The project was designed by the Brno architect Jan Šálek. The church is single-nave and built mostly from unplastered brickwork. In the southern façade stands a prismatic tower.
