Church of Saint Lawrence, Medieval religious monument in Jinonice, Czech Republic.

The Church of Saint Lawrence stands on elevated ground with two external towers reaching 24.5 meters and a central dome of 23 meters.

The original Romanesque structure from 1135 underwent extensive modifications between 1739 and 1745, transforming it into a Baroque cathedral under architect Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer.

The church features an altarpiece depicting Saint Lawrence's Passion, created by Burgundian artist Jean-Claude Monnot, representing significant religious artistry.

The church maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours through its grounds, including access to the main prayer hall and surrounding chapels.

The building incorporates fourteen niche chapels displaying Tuscan edicts along a pilgrimage route extending from Malaya Strana to the main structure.
