Church of the Transfiguration, Gothic church in Tábor, Czech Republic

The Church of the Transfiguration is a late Gothic hall church with three naves on Žižka Square in Tábor, 46 m long and 26 m wide. Three pairs of arcades on 18 m octagonal pillars divide the interior, the main nave carries a net vault by master Staněk of Prague's Malá Strana (1512), and the presbytery has a stellar vault. A 77.8 m tower with a Baroque three-tiered cupola rises above the naves.

Construction began in 1440, at the same time as the town hall, for the Utraquist congregation. The nave was vaulted in 1512 by master Staněk of Prague's Malá Strana in a few months. Fires in 1532 and 1602, damage during the 1621 siege, and the transfer to Catholic administration in 1622 shaped later repairs; Josef Mocker regotized the church in 1896–1898.

The church was built for the Utraquist (Hussite) community, and its vault bosses and wall paintings carry guild coats of arms plus the personal emblem of King Vladislav II Jagiellon. The Bohemian lion in the painted royal coat of arms holds a chalice with the Eucharist, a Utraquist symbol. The parish passed to Catholics in 1622 during the Counter-Reformation.

The tower is reached by roughly 250 steps and stands 77.8 m tall, the highest in South Bohemia. The church faces Žižkovo náměstí, with its southern side and four Gothic presbytery windows turned to the square. A Baroque Pietà group with statues of St Donatus and St Florian, moved here in 1850, stands in front of the church.

The tower, 77.8 metres high and the tallest in South Bohemia, has three rectangular windows on each wall; behind them was once the tower keeper's flat. About 250 steps lead up. The clock mechanism was moved to the town hall when the tower threatened to collapse at the end of the Thirty Years' War.
