Russian Orthodox Church in Mariánské Lázně
Russian Orthodox Church in Mariánské Lázně, Eastern Orthodox church in Mariánské Lázně, Czech Republic
Description
The Russian Orthodox Church in Mariánské Lázně is a brick structure with a Greek cross layout and eclectic architectural features from the early 1900s. Inside, a decorated majolica iconostasis imported from central Russia creates the focal point of worship.
History
The church was founded around 1900 by an Orthodox priest and local doctors who raised funds from Russian and Serbian spa visitors. The original bells were lost during World War I, and the building later served other purposes during times of conflict.
Culture
The church served as a spiritual center for Russian and Serbian visitors who came to the spa town, shaping its role in local religious life. Today, it remains a place where the Orthodox community gathers for worship and reflection.
Practical
The church is generally accessible from Tuesday through Saturday, with Sunday services also held regularly. It's worth checking opening times ahead of your visit, as these may shift seasonally or for special religious occasions.

The iconostasis was originally displayed at the 1900 Paris World Exhibition, coming from a renowned workshop near Tver. This artwork unexpectedly connects the spa town's international culture with Russian craftsmanship heritage.
