Church of Sacred Heart, Roman Catholic church in Jablonec nad Nisou, Czech Republic.
The Church of Sacred Heart is a Catholic house of worship with modern design in Jablonec nad Nisou in Bohemia. The building features a rectangular form, three prominent entrance doorways, and a distinctive facade made of glazed bricks.
The church was built in 1930–1931 to a design by Jablonec-born architect Josef Zasche. In 1963 it was protected as a cultural monument together with the parish house. Between 1995 and 2014, 5,200,000 CZK were drawn from the Programme for the Rescue of Architectural Heritage for its repair.
The church remains an active gathering place for the local Catholic community that comes together for regular worship. The building shows how early 1900s communities combined contemporary design with their religious traditions.
The church functions as an active place of worship and follows a regular weekly schedule of services. Visitors should check if a service is happening before visiting, as access may be tied to worship times.
The church's side altar holds a marble Pietà carved by sculptor F. Huppe in 1933, while the sacristy keeps a painting of St Martin dated 1671. The bronze Christ on the main altar was made in 1930 by Vienna sculptor Arnold Hartig.
