Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and St. Charles the Great, Prague
Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and St. Charles the Great, Prague, Gothic and Baroque church in Karlov district, Prague, Czech Republic
The octagonal structure features three cupolas with lanterns, domes, and spires, while displaying both Gothic and Baroque architectural elements throughout its design.
Emperor Charles IV established this church in 1350 as part of the Augustinian Monastery, modeling its design after the cathedral in Aachen where Charlemagne rests.
The church contains Prague's oldest preserved Nativity scene, featuring life-size polychrome figures created by Johann Georg Schlansowsky in 1738.
Roman Catholic masses occur every Sunday at 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM, with group tours available on other days through telephone reservation.
The church's remarkable star vault spans 24 meters in width, supported by thin arches measuring only 20 centimeters, resting on walls under one meter thick.
