Nový kostel Církve bratrské, Protestant church in Litomyšl-Město, Czech Republic.
Nový kostel Církve bratrské is a church building in Litomyšl-Město with a white exterior featuring clean lines and geometric shapes. Large windows flood the interior with natural light, and the structure includes a main worship hall, offices, meeting spaces, and a pastor's residence on the upper floor.
The building was designed by architect Zdeněk Fránek and construction began in 2008. It was completed in 2010, creating a modern house of worship for the Protestant community in the area.
The church serves the local community as a gathering place and reflects the continued presence of Protestant faith in this region. Its spaces function for worship and community events, showing how the building fits into the daily life of the town.
The prayer hall, two multi-purpose club rooms and the social vestibule sit on the lower level, with the pastor's flat on the second floor. The building is sunk into the grassy slope, so look for the entrance where the terrain opens toward the hall.
The prayer hall is sunk into the grassy slope, so from the street the building reads as a low volume with an alternately inclined roof rather than a tower. In 2012 experts nominated it, with eight other Czech buildings, for the Mies van der Rohe Award in Barcelona.
