Church of the Sacred Heart, Catholic church in Kročehlavy, Czech Republic

The Church of the Sacred Heart in Kročehlavy is a modern rectangular church with a flat ceiling and a tower on its front facade. It stands on Školská Street near the crossroads toward Prague and Unhošť, beside the former convent of the Poor School Sisters de Notre Dame. The facade bears a relief of Christ by Kladno sculptor Jaroslav Volf.

The church replaced a provisional chapel of St. Vitus in a school building, suppressed in 1919. The foundation stone of the new filial church was consecrated on 28 June 1931 by Dr. Josef Čihák, metropolitan canon at St. Vitus in Prague. It was built to a design by engineer J. Novotný beside the convent of the Poor School Sisters de Notre Dame.

The facade displays a sculptural relief of Christ created by local artist Jaroslav Volf, showing how artistic craftsmanship was valued in religious buildings of that era. This artwork remains one of the first things visitors notice when approaching the church.

The church stands on Školská Street in the centre of the former town of Kročehlavy, by the crossroads of the roads toward Prague and Unhošť. The Kladno, Školská bus stop on Unhošťská Street serves the building. A pedestrian underpass beneath the Unhošťská road leads past a small park with memorials to the victims of both world wars.

The church complex includes buildings belonging to the Notre Dame Order of Poor School Sisters and connected educational facilities that remain active today. This combination of worship space and learning facilities shows how religious institutions operated as community centers in that era.
