All Saints church in Litoměřice, Baroque church building in Litoměřice, Czech Republic
All Saints church is a Baroque structure with a light-colored facade and a prominent clock tower that rises distinctly above surrounding buildings. The interior features high ceilings, decorated altars, and artwork distributed throughout the nave and side chapels.
A Romanesque church stood here from the first half of the 12th century, and its masonry is the oldest surviving in the city; it was first documented in 1235, when it formed part of the early town fortifications. Konrád Waldhauser preached here around 1350, a Gothic rebuild followed in 1480, and the tower was rebuilt from 1501 through the 16th century. Octavio Broggio baroqued the whole building in 1717–1724, incorporating the medieval tower.
Locals call it the "white church" for its white facade. The churchyard served as a cemetery until 1790, and Konrád Waldhauser preached here from around 1350. The pulpit and pews date from 1829, and two confessionals were moved here in 1786 from the dissolved Jesuit church.
The building sits centrally in the town center at the intersection of two main streets and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should check opening times in advance and ask about guided tour options through the local heritage circuit.
The church was not itself a fortification: it stood inside the early medieval town walls, and the first written record from 1235 comes from the period when it formed part of that defensive circuit. The oldest masonry in the town survives in the building, from a Romanesque structure of the first half of the 12th century.
