Church of Saint Gabriel, Neo-Romanesque church in Smíchov, Prague, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Gabriel, formally the Church of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, is a two-nave Neo-Romanesque basilica with a semicircular apse, built of unplastered sandstone blocks. Its west portal carries seated statues of Saints Benedict and Scholastica with the Archangel Gabriel above, and a 43-metre tower rises over the south aisle.

The Neo-Romanesque church was completed in 1891 after four years of construction and consecrated by Archbishop Cardinal František Schönborn; its decoration continued until 1917. The convent of Beuronese Benedictine nuns, founded in 1888 on a plan by Abbot Hildebrand de Hemptinne, began operating here in 1889 with sisters from Nonnberg Abbey in Salzburg. In 1919 the nuns left for Styria and the order sold the monastery and church to the Czechoslovak Ministry of Posts and Telegraphs on condition that worship continue.

The church is commonly called Saint Gabriel after the former Benedictine monastery whose grounds it belongs to, while its official dedication is the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary. The marble statues of Mary and the Archangel Gabriel flanking the main altar depict that Annunciation scene.

The church is centrally located in Smíchov and is easily accessible on foot via the neighborhood's main streets. Visitors should know that it is primarily accessible during service times and may be closed during religious holidays.

The church is commonly called St. Gabriel's after the former Benedictine monastery of St. Gabriel whose grounds it belongs to, although its dedication is to the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary. The monastery complex was bought by the Czechoslovak Ministry of Posts and Telegraphs in 1919 on condition that the church keep serving worship.
