Kostel Panny Marie Královny, Neo-Baroque church in Mariánské Hory, Ostrava, Czech Republic

Kostel Panny Marie Královny is a 65 m long, 30 m wide neo-Baroque basilica with three naves, designed by Otokar Bém, with two 73 m square towers. Its interior Art Nouveau decoration includes an altarpiece of the Coronation of the Virgin by Joža Uprka and chandeliers designed by Jan Kotěra.

Built in 1905–1908 to a design by Otokar Bém, the church was criticised before construction for its size and for the absence of an architectural competition. Work halted in 1907 over suspected embezzlement of municipal funds, which was not confirmed, and the Moravská Ostrava firm of František Grossmann and František Fiala finished it. Archbishop's auxiliary bishop Karel Wisnar consecrated it on 18 October 1908.

The church serves the parish as a spiritual center where people gather for worship and community events. Throughout the year, it hosts music performances that bring visitors and shape the character of the neighborhood.

The church is regularly open to visitors and offers services and concert events at various times throughout the year. You can view the interior spaces and should plan your visit for morning or early afternoon when light is best.

The church was built on the spot where the Viennese urban planner Camillo Sitte had proposed a new town centre for Mariánské Hory. The parish also includes the filial Church of St Bartholomew in Nová Ves, and from 1984 to 1990 its parish priest was František Lobkowicz, later bishop of Ostrava-Opava.
