Church of Saint Adalbert, Gothic church in New Town, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Adalbert occupies a central position in Prague's New Town and displays Gothic architectural features including pointed arches and vaulted ceilings throughout its interior spaces. The structure incorporates multiple architectural layers added during different building phases across several centuries.

The church likely arose in the 13th century with the Zderaz suburb or V Jirchářích settlement, and the original building probably forms today's side nave. After the founding of the New Town the main nave was added, a parish is recorded in 1367 and a school in 1413. It was rebuilt in Baroque style in 1671–1693, with the Holy Cross chapel and sacristy added, and repaired in 1874–1876, when the presbytery was re-Gothicised and a new organ installed.

The church is named after Adalbert of Prague, the bishop and martyr who is its patron. Its main altarpiece shows Saint Adalbert, patron of the tanners (jircháři) whose settlement once stood here, and the vault of the main nave carries early 16th-century paintings of the Madonna, the Lamb, the Apostles and the Bohemian patrons.

The church stands in Vojtěšská Street, a short walk southeast of the National Theatre. The bells still ring for services on Sundays at 9:30 and on weekdays at 18:30, with a further Sunday peal at noon. The free-standing bell tower behind the church retains its former mortuary on the ground floor.

The free-standing bell tower behind the church kept its original wooden bell chamber inside the masonry; its ground floor served as a mortuary. The bell called Kulhavý was recast in 1611 by Baltasar Hoffman at the Emmaus Monastery. Bells still ring for Sunday Mass at 9:30 and on weekdays at 18:30.
