Church of Saint Anthony the Great, Baroque church in Nový Hradec Králové, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Anthony the Great is a baroque church on Svatováclavské náměstí in Nový Hradec Králové, built in 1769–1772. Its axis runs parallel to the old road to Holice, with the sanctuary facing south. The north facade has a projecting tower with clock faces, an octagonal onion dome covered in sheet metal, and four vases with flames on the attic.

The church was built in 1769–1772 for the residents resettled on Jánský vršek, the hill above Hradec Králové renamed Nový Hradec Králové, after the fortification of the city demolished the whole Slezské Předměstí and its two churches, St. Anthony the Hermit and St. James. The Hradec Králové builder František Kermer used material from the demolished churches, and their inventory — two bells, two altars and an organ — passed to the new church.

The church is dedicated to Saint Anthony the Hermit, whose name it bears. Its two bells, two altars and organ come from the demolished churches of St. Anthony and St. James in Slezské Předměstí, and the side altar of St. Aloysius was moved here from the chapel of the Jesuit college in Hradec Králové.

The church stands on Svatováclavské náměstí in Nový Hradec Králové, on the road from Hradec Králové to Holice, with the presbytery facing south. It has four entrances: the main one under the tower, two side portals in the nave's projections, and a fourth in the south wall of the sacristy. The nave is 19.60 m long and 11.80 m wide.

The two bells, two altars and the organ came from the demolished churches of St. Anthony and St. James in the old Slezské Předměstí. The main altar tabernacle was made by Karel Devoty of Hradec Králové in 1773, and the pulpit followed in 1778.
