Church of Our Lady of Victories
Church of Our Lady of Victories, Baroque church in Malá Strana, Czech Republic
The Church of Our Lady of Victories stands in Malá Strana, a district of Prague 1, and belongs to the baroque and classical tradition. Inside, it shows altars with carved work, marble columns, painted vaults, and gilded elements distributed in side niches and the main space.
German Lutherans originally built the church space in 1611 under the name Holy Trinity. After a military victory by Ferdinand II, the Carmelites received the building in 1624 and gave it its current name.
The Infant Jesus figure from Spain wears different garments that change with the church calendar. Visitors come to see the small statue and engage with it in a personal moment of devotion.
The church sits on Karmelitská in Prague 1 and opens from 8:30 Monday to Saturday, until 19:00 on Sundays. Visitors wanting to see the small Infant Jesus figure and the interior spaces can enter during these hours.
Below the church lies a crypt from 1666 holding coffins of Carmelite monks and their supporters from two centuries. The underground chamber shows how the community preserved its deceased across generations.

Prague brings together structures and public spaces from the Middle Ages to modern times. The historic center holds the Old Town Square with its astronomical clock, the castle on the hill, and Charles Bridge spanning the Vltava River. Churches, monasteries, and palaces show Gothic arches, Baroque facades, and Art Nouveau decoration. Streets open onto quiet courtyards and busy passages, while riverside promenades invite walks along the water. Museums hold art from different centuries, technical collections, and memories of the 20th century. The Spanish Synagogue and other religious sites speak to the city's religious heritage. Theaters and concert halls continue a long cultural tradition. From the Petřín Lookout Tower, you see the rooftops and parks spread below, while gardens such as Wallenstein Garden offer green retreats. Each neighborhood has its own rhythm, and walking remains the best way to discover the layers of history and daily life.
