St. Salvator Church
St. Salvator Church, Baroque church in Old Town, Czech Republic
St. Salvator is a baroque church in Prague's Old Town, built as part of the Clementinum complex. Its interior displays elaborate decoration with ornate stucco work and statues, creating a richly adorned sacred space.
The church was founded in 1578 as part of the Jesuit Clementinum complex and completed gradually until 1714. This extended construction period reflects how the Jesuits grew their presence and influence in Prague.
Today it serves as a Roman Catholic parish church where locals and visitors gather for services and organ concerts. The space continues to be a hub for both spiritual practice and musical performances in the city.
The church is located near Charles Bridge and opens daily to visitors. Check the online calendar before your visit to learn about services and organ concerts happening during your stay.
An underground crypt beneath the church holds the remains of Jesuit members, including scholar Bohuslav Balbín who fought to preserve the Czech language. This hidden burial chamber exists quietly below the busy Old Town streets.
