Lutheran church in Český Těšín

Lutheran church in Český Těšín, Lutheran church in Český Těšín, Czech Republic.

The Evangelical Church of the Apostles Peter and Paul "Na Nivách" is a Lutheran church in Český Těšín, built on a Greek-cross plan with neo-Gothic features to a design by architect Edward David. Its 50-metre tower carries the main entrance, framed by a pointed-arch portal, and is topped by a pyramidal roof with intersecting gables. The facade, over 24 metres wide, has triple tall windows, pointed-arch portals and a repeated pilaster frieze beneath the cornices.

In 1926 the Polish congregation broke away from the parish led by pastor Paweł Zahradnik, and in 1931 it began building its own church "Na Niwach". The neo-Gothic-Modernist design by architect Edward David was completed in autumn 1932. After World War II, thanks to the efforts of Józef Berger, the church remained Lutheran; from 1995 to 2011 it was also used by the LECAV congregation.

The parish belongs to the Silesian Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession, formed in 1920 after the region was divided between Czechoslovakia and Poland. The congregation broke away from pastor Paweł Zahradnik's parish in 1926 and built its own church from 1931. In 2007 the installation of bishop Piętak was held here, and concerts have taken place in the nave.

The main entrance is in the 50-metre tower, framed by a pointed-arch portal; the facade is over 24 metres wide, so the building is easy to recognise from the street. The interior is entered at ground level, and the pulpit stands by the first bay left of the chancel arch. The church is an active parish church, so visits fit around services.

The 50-metre tower carries a stepped attic at nave height and ends in a pyramidal roof with intersecting gables. The façade, over 24 metres wide, repeats triple tall windows, pointed-arch portals and a pilaster frieze beneath the cornices. The architect Edward David designed a neo-Gothic building already considered anachronistic when it was drawn up.
