Old Catholic church in Děčín, Church ruin in Děčín I-Děčín, Czech Republic

The Old Catholic Church in Děčín was built in 1934 on the rocky Šibeniční vrch (157 m) near the Děčín–Hřensko road. A pseudoromanesque nave adjoins a modern prismatic tower with windows in the bell storey. Its roof collapsed after a fire in September 1989, and the windows and entrance were bricked up between 2002 and 2004.

The church was built in 1934 for the Old Catholic parish, which also served believers from the Most, Chomutov and Kadaň regions. The Old Catholic Church owned it only until 1945, when the Czechoslovak Hussite Church took it over after the expulsion of Germans. From 1976 it served as a furniture depository for the Děčín District Museum, and in September 1989 it burned down and its roof collapsed.

This site served the Old Catholic community, a religious movement that maintained its own practices separate from Rome. You can still see how the space was arranged for worship and gatherings that took place within its walls.

The church stands on Šibeniční vrch, a rocky rise at the foot of Kvádrberk by the Děčín–Hřensko road. Its windows and entrance were bricked up between 2002 and 2004, so the interior cannot be visited; the ruin is only visible from the road and surrounding ground.

The church was built in 1934 for Old Catholic believers from Mostecko, Chomutovsko and Kadaňsko. After the Germans were expelled in 1945, the Czechoslovak Hussite Church took it over, and from 1958 it was lent to the Orthodox Church for resettlers from the Soviet Union.
