The article brings the first information about the research of the baroque church of St. Nicholas in Kovarce, dist. Topoľčany. The research was carried out in 2016–2019 and was induced by the construction activity (hot water connection and lightning conductor). During the archaeological research several new building units were uncovered and documented: a smaller room in the NW corner of the church, a crypt under the northern sacristy and the eastern part of the extinct original polygonal Gothic presbytery of the older church. Three medieval graves from the church cemetery were also documented. In the crypt we documented the remains of A. Wels from the end of the 19th century (great-grandfather of British actress A. Hepburn). Material culture acquired during the research documents the life in the village in the 17th–18th century and grave equipment of the second half of the 19th cent. The anthropological analysis of found skeletal remains is also a part of the paper.
