Evangelical church, Protestant church in Střešovice, Czech Republic.
The Evangelical church in Střešovice is a Protestant sanctuary with a tower crowned by a golden chalice set within a glowing sun. The building includes a rectory with a congregation room, administrative office, and residential space for the pastor.
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 architecture incorporates luxfer glass technology in the bell tower, representing an innovative use of materials for religious buildings of that era. This special glass distributed light inside the tower in an unusual way.
