Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Terezín

Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Terezín, Empire style church in Terezín, Czech Republic

The Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Terezín is a single-nave Empire-style building erected in 1805–1810 to plans by engineer Heinrich Hatzinger and Count Julius d'Andreise. Its 56-metre square tower rises above the eastern front of the main square, and the facade portal bears the founding year MDCCCV. The semicircular apse measures 7.5 m long and 14 m wide.

The building was constructed between 1805 and 1810 when Terezín was developed as a fortress town under Joseph II's administration. The church arose as part of this broader urban planning effort during the early Napoleonic era.

The church keeps its original furnishings: the high altar painting of the Resurrection of Christ is by Josef Bergler, first director of the Prague painting academy, and the side altars were consecrated in 1888 and 1905. A plaque on the north wall, moved here from the Litoměřice Gate in 1898, carries a Latin inscription of 1780 naming Joseph II and Maria Theresa.

The church stands on the eastern side of the main square, now náměstí Československé armády. The monumental main portal is opened only for festive services; normally entry is from the south side through a side staircase. The 56-metre tower is a useful landmark for orientation in the fortress town.

The church's 1898 organ comes from the Krnov firm Rieger-Kloss and bears opus number 622; it replaced an instrument by Anton Rusch, son of the organ builder Jan Rusch. The organ was restored between the second half of 2013 and mid-June 2014.
