Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and of Saint Wenceslaus

Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and of Saint Wenceslaus, Gothic church in Kralupy nad Vltavou, Czech Republic.

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and of Saint Wenceslaus is a single-nave pseudo-Gothic brick building erected in 1894–1895, with its presbytery oriented to the north. It has a rectangular plan, a five-sided presbytery with side annexes, and a 63-metre prismatic tower on the western facade. The interior is covered by a cross-ribbed vault.

The church was built in 1894–1895 to plans by J. Kaura, revised by A. Živný, because Kralupy belonged to the parish of Minice and a church was required for the town to be elevated to city status. Prague provost Dr. Eduard Tersch paid about two-thirds of the cost and donated fittings including the organ. He preached at the consecration on 27 October 1895 and was buried three years later in the tomb before the main altar.

The church is named for the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Saint Wenceslaus. Its organ, with two manuals and 16 registers, was made by Em. Š. Petr of Prague and donated by provost Eduard Tersch, who also funded about two-thirds of the building. Jaroslav Seifert wrote poems mentioning the church and its bells.

The church stands in the town centre, its 63-metre tower visible from afar. Two memorial plaques on the exterior mark the 1945 air-raid victims and the water level of the 2002 flood. The interior is covered by a cross-ribbed vault.

The church and its bells appear in poems by Jaroslav Seifert, the Czech Nobel laureate. The current bells, the third set, were bought in 1991 by the rubber company Kaučuk after earlier bells were seized in both world wars.
