Lutheran church in Orlová, Neoclassical Lutheran church in Město district, Orlová, Czech Republic

The Lutheran church in Orlová is a neoclassical building with symmetrical proportions and orderly facade elements from the 1800s. The structure displays typical features of this architectural style, including clean lines and balanced proportions throughout its design.

Evangelicals in Orlová had to travel 11 km to a prayer house in Dolní Bludovice and began making bricks for their own church in 1827. The foundation stone was laid on 24 June 1861, with the imperial patent of 8 April 1861 placed in the right pillar under the tower. The church was consecrated on 15 October 1862 by superintendent Lumnitzer.

The building reflects the Protestant communities that settled in this coal mining region and built places for their faith. It shows how different religious groups shaped local life in industrial Silesia.

The church stands on Cingrův kopec hill on Petra Cingra street in the Město district, part of the Zapomenutá Orlová heritage trail, with an information board on site. The former Evangelical cemetery lay beside it from 1847 to 2001. Deep mining caused subsidence, so the building was statically secured in 1982 and again in 2005.

The foundation stone was laid on 24 June 1861, and the imperial patent of 8 April 1861 was placed inside the right pillar under the tower.
