Church of St. Martin in the Wall, Medieval church building in Old Town, Czech Republic

The church structure combines Romanesque foundations with Gothic elements, featuring three naves, a square chancel, and a tower in the southwest corner.

Built between 1178 and 1187 in the village of Ujezd, the church received its name when its south wall became part of Prague's Old Town fortifications.

The church served as a location for the Hussite Assembly in 1433 and survived the religious wars due to its status as an utraquist institution.

The building holds regular Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren services on Sundays, with German masses at 10:30 and Czech masses at 19:30.

The church contains one of the region's oldest preserved groined vaults, constructed between 1360 and 1370 during the Gothic reconstruction period.
