Church of the Virgin Mary
Church of the Virgin Mary, Former church at Prague Castle, Czech Republic
The Church of the Virgin Mary displays an octagonal floor plan within Prague Castle, incorporating architectural elements inspired by Germanic building traditions.
Emperor Charles IV established this religious structure during the New Town development, with construction led by architect Matthias of Arras in the 14th century.
The structure received its consecration in 1377 with dual dedication to the Assumption of Mary and St. Charles the Great, marking its ecclesiastical importance.
The church underwent structural modifications in the late 17th century, expanding the interior space and adding new architectural features to the building.
The stained glass windows from 1502-1505 remain in the church, demonstrating medieval craftsmanship through their intricate designs and colored patterns.
