Saint Anthony the Great Church, Liberec, Religious monument in Nové Město, Liberec, Czech Republic

Saint Anthony the Great Church is a three-nave neo-Gothic parish and archdeacon church in Kostelní street, between Dr. Edvard Beneš and Sokolovské squares. Its square Gothic tower, rebuilt in 1879–1880 by Ludwig Tischler, rises 70.5 m with a slim pyramidal spire and gas-lit clock. The nave is 36.6 m long, extended by 15.6 m with a transept in 1733–1735.

A wooden church, possibly log-built, stood on the old parish cemetery here in the 14th century, but the present stone church was begun on 17 June 1579 by mason Georg Leypold and became Liberec's first stone building. Marco Antonio Spazio vaulted the 36.6 m nave by 1587; Count Filip Josef Gallas added a transept and 15.6 m in 1733–1735, and Ludwig Tischler's tower reached 70.5 m in 1880.

The church is dedicated to Saint Anthony the Great, not to Anthony of Padua, whose church stands in Ruprechtice. Until the Church of the Holy Cross was built in 1695 it was the only church in Liberec, and it has served as the archdeacon's church since its consecration by Bishop Jan Schöbel in 1883.

The church stands in Kostelní street between Dr. Edvard Beneš Square and Sokolovské Square, with the parish and archdeaconry buildings next to it; the Hotel Praha is behind the church. The tower, rebuilt in 1880, reaches 70.5 m and was long the tallest building in the city. The interior floor was lowered by 50 cm during that work, and three underground crypts were abolished.

The tower reached 70.5 m in 1880, making it the tallest building in Liberec for many years. A lightning strike in 1787 melted all four bells; two replacements were hung in 1957, and manual ringing gave way to electric in 1976.
