Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is a three-nave church building in Neo-Romanesque style, built with characteristic architectural features of the late 1800s. The structure displays the craftsmanship of its era through its organized interior layout and decorative elements.

The current building was completed in 1899 and replaced a Gothic church from the 1300s that could no longer hold the growing population of Kladno. The new church was built during a period when the town was rapidly transforming into an industrial and mining center.

The church serves as a gathering place for the local Catholic community, where people come together for regular services and religious occasions. It shapes the character of the town center and remains woven into daily life in Kladno.

The church is located on Mayor Pavel Square in the town center and is easy to reach on foot. It welcomes visitors and you can contact the parish for information about visiting times or any questions about the building.

The building was designed by architect Ludvík Lábler, and it reflects the moment when Kladno was shifting from a quiet settlement into a busy mining town. Few visitors realize the church stands as a physical marker of how the entire landscape and character of the place changed during that industrial boom.
