Hussite church, Protestant church in Zábřeh, Czech Republic

The Hussite church in Ostrava-Zábřeh is a functionalist church built in 1932–1933 to designs by Josef Kittrich and Josef Hrubý. Its asymmetrically placed 23-metre tower, topped by a flat roof, holds three bells and a clock. The main façade is said to echo the design of a radio receiver.

The church began with land purchased in 1929, though economic pressures delayed the building process. The foundation stone comes from Kozí Hrádek castle, where religious reformer Jan Hus once lived.

The side walls carry frescoes of Jan Hus and Jan Amos Comenius by Professor Jan Obšil. A memorial plaque in the interior holds soil from battlefields of the Czechoslovak legions, donated by the local legionary unit. Each 2 July and 11 November, services and commemorations here include flowers laid at that plaque.

The church stands in Zábřeh near the Zábřeh castle, the Zábřeh erratic boulder, the old town hall and the Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary. Annual services and commemorative acts are held around 2 July for the Battle of Zborov and 11 November for Veterans Day, with flowers laid at the memorial plaque inside and at legionnaires' graves in the nearby cemetery.

The foundation stone was taken from Kozí Hrádek castle, creating a physical connection to reformer Jan Hus and his time. This detail links the building to a much older history than its 1930s construction suggests.
