St Thomas' Church, Baroque church in Malá Strana, Prague, Czech Republic

The building features a tall octagonal spired tower and a dome above the nave, with Renaissance portals incorporated into its Baroque facade.

King Václav II established the church in 1285 for Augustinian friars, replacing an older Romanesque structure with a Gothic design that later underwent Baroque reconstruction.

The interior contains frescoes by Václav Vavřinec Reiner depicting scenes from Saint Augustine's life, along with replicas of Peter Paul Rubens paintings.

The church conducts regular services in Czech, English, Spanish, and Filipino languages, with guided tours available through advance reservation.

The structure serves as the final resting place for Lithuanian noble Butautas Kęstutaitis and renowned sculptor Adriaen de Vries.
