Husův sbor, Cultural monument church in Lužná, Czech Republic.

Husův sbor is a Czechoslovak Hussite church built in 1925 to a design by Prague architect Tomáš Šašek. A rectangular nave of 18×10 m opens into a 2×8 m chancel facing west, and an administrative and residential wing of 14×10 m stands in front of it to the east. The unplastered white-brick walls and triangular gable echo the nearby railway station built of opuka stone.

The congregation of the Czechoslovak Church in Lišany planned its own church after disputes over shared use of the Roman Catholic church and rectory. The land near the Lužná-Lišany railway stop was bought with funds advanced by Jan Mařík, and architect Tomáš Šašek drew up the project. Excavation began in early 1925, and Christmas services were already held in the new building that December.

The building belongs to the Czechoslovak Hussite Church, whose congregation was founded in Lišany after World War I and initially shared the Roman Catholic church and parish house there, which caused persistent disputes. The name Husův sbor refers to Jan Hus; a reproduction of Brožík's painting of Hus before the Council of Constance and a reprint of the protest letter of Czech and Moravian nobles against his burning are still kept inside.

The sbor stands by the Lužná-Lišany railway stop, which is why the site was chosen so worshippers from both villages could reach it. The liturgical hall seats up to 300 people and is entered through a corridor; the former caretaker's flat and office are on the ground floor, the minister's flat upstairs. The tower stair is reached through the minister's flat or a separate outdoor entrance.

The 138 kg bell in the tower was cast by Arnošt Diepold of Prague and can be seen through the eight window openings of the top storey. The chalice with the St Andrew's cross and the ceramic-letter inscription "Husův sbor" above the main entrance were added only later.
