St. Michael's Church in Jircháře, Gothic church in New Town, Czech Republic

St. Michael's Church in Jircháře is a Gothic church in Prague's New Town featuring three naves with stone ribs supporting vaulted spaces. The structure displays a blend of Gothic and Baroque elements throughout its layout and design.

The church was built before 1348 and underwent major Gothic reconstruction in 1369. A fire in 1717 led to Baroque modifications that significantly altered the building's appearance.

The building serves congregations in Czech, Slovak, and English as part of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession, bringing together people from different linguistic backgrounds. Visitors can observe how this place functions as a spiritual space for multiple communities who gather here regularly.

The church is located on V Jirchářích street in Prague's New Town near other historical sites. The location is convenient for visitors interested in exploring the capital's landmarks in this area.

The underground crypt beneath the church holds the burial sites of former rectors of Prague University. These subterranean burial places create a tangible connection between the religious and academic heritage of the city.
