St Wenceslas Church in Vršovice

Kostel sv. Václava (Vršovice)

Place of worshipLocal favourite

Josef Gočár's reinforced-concrete church of 1929-30 is counted among the best constructivist churches in the country: a stepped roof following the slope, ribbon windows in each 'step' and an 80 m white bell tower like a lighthouse on the skyline. It is Vršovice's parish church; visitors never see it.
