Church of Saint Procopius, Žižkov

Church of Saint Procopius, Žižkov, Gothic Revival church in Žižkov, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Procopius is a Neo-Gothic three-aisled hall church, over 51 metres long and 17 metres wide, with a 73-metre tower topped by a pyramidal roof. Its interior has cross vaults 16 metres high, and the north entrance bears a tympanum by Josef Pekárek showing the Madonna with Saint Procopius presenting a model of the church.

The foundation stone was laid on 30 October 1898, the 50th anniversary of Franz Joseph I's reign, so the church was first called the "Jubilee" church. Josef Mocker and František Mikš designed it, and Cardinal Lev Skrbenský consecrated it on 27 September 1903 after five years of building. Eduard Šittler became the first parish priest.

The church is dedicated to Procopius of Sázava, a hermit later canonised as patron saint of Bohemia. Eight panel paintings by Karel Ludvík Klusáček on the main altar show scenes from his life, and the last window in the south nave, completed in 1992 after Cyril Bouda's design, depicts Duke Oldřich meeting Procopius in the Sázava woods.

This church is located in Žižkov district and is easily accessible by tram, with several stops in the area nearby. Visitors will find the interior is best experienced during daylight hours when natural light illuminates the stained glass and architectural details.

The north tympanum by Josef Pekárek shows the Madonna with the Infant Jesus while St. Procopius, holding a model of the church, presents it to her; the west entrance carries his relief of St. Adalbert. Both came from the workshop of Pekárek, a pupil of Josef Václav Myslbek.
