Church of Saint Ursula, Baroque church in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Ursula is a single-nave high-baroque building on Národní třída, designed by Marcantonio Canevalle in 1699 and built from 1702 to 1704 over the cellars of earlier town houses. Above the main entrance stands a stone statue of Saint Ursula, probably by Ottavio Mosto, and the nave holds fourteen statues of apostles by František Preiss.

Marcantonio Canevalle drew up the design in 1699, and the foundation stone was laid on 4 April 1699 in his presence. The single-nave church was built between 1702 and 1704 on the site of burgher houses whose foundations and two vaults survive in the basement. It was consecrated on 6 July 1704 by auxiliary bishop and Strahov abbot Vít Seipel, and fully furnished it was consecrated again by Jan Kamenický on 10 July 1718.

The interior displays religious artworks dedicated to Saint Ursula, and the church maintains its role within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Prague. The place continues to serve worshippers today and remains an active location for religious observances and prayer.

The church is located in Prague's New Town at a central location that is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and be prepared that this is an active place of prayer, so respectful behavior is expected.

The building originally formed part of an Ursuline monastery that combined education with religious community life. This dual purpose shaped life at this place across generations.
