Church of Saint Anthony of Padua, Gothic Revival church in Holešovice, Prague, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint Anthony of Padua is a Gothic Revival church on Strossmayerovo náměstí in Prague-Holešovice, built 1908–1911 to a design by František Mikš. Its west facade has two towers modelled on the Church of Our Lady before Týn, 58 m high (63 m with spires). The three-nave interior, 51 m long and 21 m high, has a cross vault carried by two rows of sandstone columns. Much of the ornament is artificial stone, a saving during construction.

Construction began in 1908 and the building was finished in 1911, though the consecration by Cardinal Archbishop Lev Skrbenský took place three years later, in 1914. The church was built to serve a working-class district that had grown quickly during Prague's industrial expansion.

The church houses a Czech nativity scene with figurines dressed in the folk clothing of the Chod region, a historical community from western Bohemia. This display shows how a religious space can carry local craft traditions that have little to do with the building itself.

The two towers make the building easy to find from the surrounding streets, so no special navigation is needed. As with most working parishes, a visit outside of service hours gives more freedom to look around inside.

The 40-kilogram bell Rafael survived World War I, but it did not remain in the church: after 1918 new bells were cast by the Herold foundry in Chomutov and blessed in 1926. The bells now hanging in the towers are the 1572 bell Kliment, moved from St Clement's Church in 1920, and the 1,200-kilogram Václav, a copy of Philadelphia's Liberty Bell given to President Masaryk in 1919 and hung in the north tower only in 1980.
