Church of Saint Remigius, Roman Catholic church in Praha-Čakovice, Czech Republic.
The Church of Saint Remigius is a single-nave neo-Romanesque church with a Latin-cross plan, completed in 1875 on Náměstí 25. března in Prague-Čakovice. Its altarpieces depict Saint Remigius in the centre, flanked by Saints Philip and Elizabeth, modelled on Filip Schoeller and his wife Alžběta. A baptismal chapel designed by Kamil Hilbert was added in 1904–1905.
A Romanesque church stood on this site from 1352; it was replaced around 1735 by a Baroque church. In the 1870s Filip Schoeller, owner of Čakovice Castle, commissioned the present neo-Romanesque building, completed in 1875. A baptismal chapel by Kamil Hilbert was added in 1904–1905.
The church is the only one in the Czech Republic dedicated to Saint Remigius, who is not its founder but the bishop of Reims who baptized Clovis. It houses a relic of the saint that Charles IV obtained from France and that Benedictines brought from the Na Slovanech monastery after 1409.
The building is easily reached by Prague's public transportation system from the city center. It is accessible to visitors during regular opening hours and welcomes pedestrian access.
The building is listed in the Czech Monument Catalogue, reflecting its importance as a protected cultural property at the national level. This designation underscores its value as historical heritage for future generations.
