Church of Saint Roch, Renaissance church in Hradčany, Prague, Czech Republic
The Church of Saint Roch stands within the Strahov Monastery complex, featuring an elliptical dome supported by columns and arcades that form a gallery.
The church was constructed in response to the plague epidemic of 1680, serving as a place of worship and reflection for the local community.
The interior contains a Neo-Renaissance altar from 1879, created by Antonin Baum, with a central painting by Ignác Raab dating back to 1760.
Visitors can access the church through Strahovské nádvoří in Prague 1, where they can explore both the architectural features and religious significance.
The church houses a preserved Baroque tin baptismal font from 1595, crafted by Matthew Voříška of Roudnice on the Elbe.
