Church of St. Ludmila

The Church of St. Ludmila is a Neo-Gothic structure standing at Peace Square, dominated by two towers rising 60 meters with slender octagonal pyramid roofs and brick facades. The building combines architectural revival elements with local craftsmanship, featuring a nativity scene created between 1910 and 1925 with works from local workshops.

Architect Josef Mocker designed the church between 1888 and 1893 to commemorate Emperor Franz Joseph I's 40 years on the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The building was completed during a period of rapid urban development in the Vinohrady district.

The church serves as a gathering place where locals come for worship and religious celebrations throughout the year. The veneration of St. Ludmila connects the community through shared faith and traditions.

The church is centrally located on Peace Square and easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should know that the building remains active for daily services and the surrounding square hosts regular markets and community events.

The stained glass windows were made exclusively by Czech artists, representing local glasswork from the late 1800s. These windows are a rare example of Czech artistic craftsmanship being fully realized in a major religious building.
