St. Wenceslas Church in Zderaz, Gothic church in New Town, Czech Republic
St. Wenceslas Church stands at the intersection of Resslova and Dittrichova Streets, featuring a rectangular nave and polyhedral chancel rising 14 meters high.
The church, consecrated in 1181, underwent modifications during the Hussite Wars in 1420 and received extensive renovations funded by Emperor Rudolf II in the 16th century.
The interior contains benches crafted by František Kotyza following František Bílek's designs, with each seat displaying different animal decorations.
The church sits on an elevated rock terrace above street level, constructed with rubble stone and incorporating elements from various architectural periods.
Archaeological research between 1927 and 1929 revealed the original structure was a simple single-nave construction built on the site of an earlier church.
