Hus' House, Constructivist church building in Vršovice, Czech Republic
The six-story religious structure features a 26-meter tower topped with a glass cube supporting a quadrangular chalice and cross at Vršovické náměstí.
The foundation stone laid in 1929 originated from Kozí Hrádek castle, where church reformer Jan Hus preached his ideas before his execution in 1415.
The building includes a theater hall for 300 spectators with space for orchestra, dressing rooms, and offices, supporting various community performances and events.
The structure generates income through theater activities and bank branch leasing to maintain the building and its columbarium facilities for the congregation.
The building represents one of Prague's first implementations of pre-stressed concrete construction technology, marking an advancement in architectural engineering.
