Church of Saint Paul

The red brick Church of Saint Paul exhibits Gothic Revival architecture with two towers and stone exterior walls designed by August Kirstein.

The church emerged during the industrial growth of Vítkovice in the nineteenth century when the local population required a larger place for worship.

The Church of Saint Paul functions as a religious center for the community while maintaining its status as a protected cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

Regular religious services take place in the church, and visitors can examine the architectural details during designated visiting hours throughout the week.

The building demonstrates the use of režné zdivo, a specific masonry technique that creates patterns through the arrangement of exposed brick walls.
