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

Sbor kněze Ambrože is a functionalist church complex on a triangular plot between Nerudova and V Lipkách streets in Hradec Králové, entered through a gate between two brick administrative buildings. Arcades holding the columbarium link these buildings to the church, whose dominant square bell tower is a reinforced-concrete frame 26.35 m high with a 7.4 × 3.7 m plan. The white-plastered church has round windows and a granite Lord's Table recalling a broken host.

In 1925 Hradec Králové was chosen as the seat of the new Czechoslovak Church's eastern Bohemian diocese, prompting the local congregation to build. Architect Josef Gočár designed the church, the foundation stone was laid on 8 August 1926, and it was consecrated on 22 September 1929 by patriarch Gustav Adolf Procházka. It was listed as a cultural monument in 1958.

The building is named after Ambrož, a Hussite priest who worked in Hradec Králové. Services are held here alongside lectures and exhibitions, and the columbarium in the ambits holds urns of local figures, including mayor František Ulrich.

The entrance is through a gate between two brick administrative buildings, the diocesan and parish offices, on a triangular plot between Nerudova and V Lipkách streets. The ambits around the inner courtyard hold the columbarium, where the ashes of figures such as mayor František Ulrich are kept. The white-plastered church has round windows and a 26.35 m concrete bell tower.

The 26.35-metre bell tower is a reinforced concrete frame with a 7.4 × 3.7 m footprint. A public collection begun in 2009 funded 50 bells cast by three foundries — Eisbouts of the Netherlands, Clock-O-Matic of Belgium and the Czech Manoušek workshop — first rung on 5 July 2025. The bells are named after figures such as Anežka Česká and Milada Horáková.
