Evangelical church in Čáslav, Protestant church in Staré Město, Čáslav, Czech Republic

The Evangelical church in Čáslav is a three-nave church with a narrower, five-sided presbytery, oriented to the southwest and covered by a saddle roof of sheet metal. Its tower, with grouped windows and four supporting turrets, deliberately recalls the tower of the nearby Church of St Peter and Paul. The west wall opens through portals with semicircular arches and stone surrounds.

The foundation stone was laid in 1864 and the church, designed by Chrudim builder František Schmoranz Sr. in a historicist style with Neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque elements, was completed in 1869. It was consecrated on 6 July 1869, the anniversary of Jan Hus's burning. New bells were blessed in 1931, replacing those requisitioned in World War I, and an organ was installed between 1954 and 1957.

The church is still used as a concert hall alongside worship. Its tower deliberately echoes the tower of the nearby church of Sts Peter and Paul. The street name honours Jan Karafiát, a teacher at Čáslav's Reformed teacher-training institute from 1872 to 1875 and author of Broučci.

The church stands in a fenced grassy area on Jana Karafiáta Street, near the town walls above the former town pond. It is still used as a concert hall, so check the parish notice board for events. The adjacent 1928 parsonage with the Komenský hall stands beside it.

The tower, with its paired windows and four supporting pinnacles, was deliberately modelled on the tower of the nearby church of St Peter and St Paul. The church stands on the site of a Minorite monastery that disappeared during the Hussite wars, above the town pond.
