Evangelical church

Evangelical church, Protestant church in Braník, Czech Republic.

The Evangelical Church in Braník stands in a former limestone quarry near the Branické skály nature monument. Architect Pavel Bareš designed it as a provisional prayer hall, built from spruce wood between September 1947 and April 1948 and opened on 9 May 1948. A pine apse by David Vávra was added in 1989/1990.

The church was built from September 1947 to April 1948 as a provisional wooden prayer house for the Czech Brethren Evangelical Church, designed by architect Pavel Bareš and partly modelled on the tolerance church in Velká Lhota. It opened on 9 May 1948. A pine apse by David Vávra was added in 1989/1990, and a new annex, EVEN, opened in September 2017.

The congregation belongs to the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren; services are held every Sunday at 9:30 and 14:00. Since 1968 an evangelical scout troop has operated at the church, and ecumenical services were first held there in November 1968. The ceiling ribs carry a 1948 parable by B. Šebek, restored in 1974 and again after the 2022–2023 renovation by Nataliia Heiets.

The church stands in the space of a former limestone quarry beside the Branické skály nature monument, in Braník. Services are held every Sunday at 9:30 and 14:00. A new annex by architect David Vávra, opened in September 2017 and later named EVEN, stands next to the church.

The church was meant to last about 20 years, yet the wooden structure still serves its congregation. In 1969 a burglar entered through a window at night, tied up pastor Timoteus Pokorný at gunpoint and took his watch, money and papers; the pastor was hospitalised in December and could not preach for nearly two months.
