St. Nicholas Church, Baroque church in Vršovice, Czech Republic
The church features an eight-sided chalice sculpture rising 28 meters above its onion dome, alongside a neo-gothic façade designed by Bohumil Holeček.
The current structure from 1704 replaced a previous Gothic building dedicated to Mary Magdalene, which had occupied the site since at least 1422.
The church houses a 300-kilogram bell crafted in 1511 by Bartoloměj of Prague, plus a smaller bell from 1923 serving as death knell.
The astronomical tower clock includes a moon dial on its west face, displaying lunar phases and Venus position in the evening sky.
The statue of St. John of Nepomuk on the north wall remembers a priest executed in 1393 for refusing to reveal confessional secrets.
