Evangelical church, Protestant church in Střešovice, Czech Republic.
The Evangelical church in Střešovice is a single-nave building with two shallow side aisles and a rectangular apse, designed by Bohumír Kozák and built in 1937–1939. A prismatic tower with a clock and glazed belfry rises from the facade, topped by a sheet-metal tent roof bearing a chalice and sun motif. A rectory adjoins the south wall.
The sanctuary opened on May 18, 1939, providing the first proper church home for the Czech Brethren congregation that had been established in Prague 6 since 1932. The opening occurred during a time of major upheaval in Czechoslovakia.
The interior brings together constructivist design with early Christian basilica influences, including a blue mosaic in the main nave and gilded wooden ceiling beams. The space shows how modern artistic forms were connected with religious tradition.
The church is easily reached by public transport and sits in a quiet residential neighborhood of Prague. Visitors should check opening hours in advance, as access varies depending on services and events held there.
The tower's glazed belfry is topped by a sheet-metal tent roof bearing the Evangelical symbols of a chalice and sun. Architect Bohumír Kozák, a member of the congregation, designed the church; its fittings were made by Jaroslav Dušek of Ruzyně. A 1946–1947 study for a northern wing matching the rectory remains current.
