Sbor kněze Ambrože, Functionalist church in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic.

The triangular building features round windows and a pointed corner facing east, representing the shape of a ship in its architectural design.

Construction of the church began in 1926 under architects Josef Gočár and Josef Havlíček, with consecration ceremonies taking place on April 30, 1929.

The church contains a contemporary laminate cross by artist Maxim Velčovský from 2002, displaying anatomical indentations that align with the minimalist interior.

The complex includes congregation rooms, staff quarters, and a columbarium for urns, with mechanical ventilation systems operated by gear wheels and chains.

The bell tower incorporates a large chalice symbol of the Hussite Church, constructed entirely from reinforced concrete with a plaster finish.
