Red Church, Gothic Revival church building in Olomouc, Czech Republic
Red Church is a Gothic Revival church building in Olomouc constructed from red brick with characteristic exterior and interior architectural features. The structure displays the stylistic elements typical of the period when it was built.
Built between 1901 and 1902 by architect Max Löwe, the building first served a German-speaking Protestant congregation in Moravia. Its purpose shifted significantly after World War II.
The building originally served a German-speaking congregation and retains architectural details that reflect its roots in that community. Its design and layout show how the space was shaped to meet the needs of those who gathered here.
The building underwent extensive renovation work completed in 2023 and is now open during weekdays for visitors. Plan your visit during daytime hours to see the interior details and architectural features clearly.
The 2023 renovation added a modern annex with pink concrete surfaces that contrasts sharply with the traditional red brick architecture. This addition features a book wall with illuminated displays that blends contemporary design with the building's historical identity.
