Hussite church, Modernist church and official residence in Žižkov, Czech Republic

The Hussite church, known as Žižkův sbor CČSH or Husův sbor Jana Žižky, is a 1925 prayer house at Náměstí Barikád in Žižkov, designed by architect František Kaliba. Inside, a columbarium sits to the left of the entrance, the congregation office to the right, and the main hall in the centre; a choir loft with organ stands above the entrance.

The building opened on Christmas Day 1925, shortly after the founding of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church as a new religious community. This separation from Roman Catholicism emerged in the years following the First World War.

The congregation was founded on 25 July 1920, and the first Žižkov pastor, Josef Šlapák, began serving on 7 November 1920. Services were first held in the Bethlehem Chapel of the Czech Brethren Evangelical Church on Prokopova Street. Today the building is also called Žižkostel and hosts services, religious meetings, and occasionally an independent Roma congregation in the small prayer hall.

The entrance on Náměstí Barikád leads into a hall with the columbarium on the left and the congregation office on the right; the main hall lies straight ahead, with the organ loft above the door. A separate street entrance on the right side reaches the basement clubroom, used by a low-threshold youth club. The building reopened in January 2024 after several years of reconstruction.

The second name, Husův sbor Jana Žižky, arose by mistake when maps were made for a website; the congregation itself uses Žižkův sbor CČSH. The building also carries the name Žižkostel and is described as a community church. Its basement clubroom, reached by a separate street entrance, houses a low-threshold youth club.
