Church of Saint Castulus, Gothic church building in Old Town, Prague, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Castulus stands as a four-aisled basilica constructed from gaize stone, featuring Gothic architecture with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a modest prism-shaped tower topped with an ogee arch roof.

Originally built between 1375 and 1399 on the site of a 1234 Romanesque church, the structure suffered damage during the Hussite Wars and was reconstructed in Baroque style after the devastating 1689 fire.

This church holds the distinction of being the only religious building in the Czech Republic dedicated to Saint Castulus and serves as a cultural monument preserving centuries of architectural evolution.

Located on Haštalské náměstí in Prague's Old Town, the church holds regular Sunday masses at 11:00 and remains accessible to visitors exploring the historic district's cobblestone streets.

The church contains Gothic murals depicting the Last Supper and Crucifixion in its sacristy, alongside Baroque sculptures by Ferdinand Maxmilian Brokoff, creating a remarkable fusion of medieval and baroque artistry.
