Church of Saint Gotthard, Baroque church in Bubeneč, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Gotthard is a single-nave hall church in classicist style, built on baroque foundations with an older prismatic tower. The architect is undocumented; the builder was Matěj Šmaha. The interior furnishings come from the carving workshop of Ignác Michael Platzer, and the main altar image of the saint was painted by Viennese painter B. Kraftová.

A church existed here by 1313, when priest Vlk was pastor, and it was recorded as a parish church in 1352. Hussites held services under both kinds there, and in May 1420 Jan Žižka's men plundered it after the clash by the Ovenec game preserve, so the parish lapsed in 1421. The parish was renewed in 1786; the old building was demolished in April 1801, the foundation stone of the new Classicist church was consecrated on 4 May 1801, and auxiliary bishop Václav Leopold Chlumčanský consecrated it on 18 October 1801.

The church is dedicated to Saint Gotthard, a bishop of Hildesheim, a dedication brought to the area by Benedictine monks from Niederaltaich. The square in front was called Kostelní náměstí from 1910 to 1947 and now bears the name of dean František Krupka. The former school and former town hall stand next to the church.

The church is easily accessible by Prague's public transportation, with tram and bus stops nearby for convenient arrival. Visitors should respect that this is an active place of worship, so appropriate clothing and quiet behavior are expected.

The church's interior furnishings come from the carving workshop of Ignác Michael Platzer, and the image of the saint on the main altar was painted by the Viennese painter B. Kraftová. An older painting from the altar of St. John Nepomuk also survives from the original furnishings.
