Church of Saint John of Nepomuk, Former church in Hradec Králové
The Church of Saint John of Nepomuk is a Baroque religious building in Hradec Králové with two tall towers and an ornately decorated facade. The interior contains typical 18th-century features including decorated elements and religious artwork.
An earlier building at this site dated from the 1640s, but was eventually replaced by the current structure designed by K.I. Dientzenhofer. This new construction was completed in 1737.
The church is dedicated to Saint John of Nepomuk, the patron saint of confession, and his veneration is visible in the artwork and design of the interior spaces. Visitors can sense the religious importance of this saint throughout the decorated rooms and artistic details.
The church is typically open to visitors during regular hours, though opening times vary by season. It is helpful to check ahead whether special religious services might affect visitor access on your planned visit.
Fourteen information panels surround the building and tell stories from the saint's life, offering visitors educational details as they walk around the church. These panels create an informal learning path that brings the religious history of the place to life.
