The Evangelical Church in Trebechovice pod Orebem, a neo-Romanesque building erected in 1876-1880, is the parish church of the local congregation of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren (Ceskobratrská církev evangelická, CCE).
The church is located in front of houses on the north side of the main town public space - Masaryk Square (námestí Tomáše Garrigua Masaryka) in Trebechovice pod Orebem. The church was built by the builder A. Nový from Rychnov nad Knežnou. Its foundation stone was laid on May 5, 1876 and the consecration took place on July 6, 1880 with the participation of Superintendent Jan Veselý from Klášter nad Dedinou. Today, in addition to religious purposes, the church also serves to organize performances of children of the local primary school or the local art school, picture exhibitions, concerts of musical ensembles or meetings in Advent.
The spacious and decorated church has a gallery on both sides of the prayer room, and in the front, in the apse between two tall Romanesque windows, in the axis of the prayer room is a pulpit. In front of the pulpit, again in the axis of the church, is the Table of the Lord. All these works were made by the Trebechovice carver Jan Podstata. The church was repaired in the 1960s and 1970s, and a general reconstruction took place in 1994–1995.
