Church of St. Wenceslaus
Church of St. Wenceslaus, Georgian Catholic church in New Prague, Minnesota
The Church of St. Wenceslaus features twin towers reaching 110 feet in height, constructed with brick and Kasota limestone, creating a notable presence in the city center.
Built in 1907 under architect Hermann Kretz's supervision, the church construction exceeded its initial budget of $53,000, reaching a final cost of $85,000.
The church building represents the strong Czech heritage of New Prague's settlers, with a statue of Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia, mounted above the main entrance.
The parish serves approximately 1,440 member families and maintains an elementary school offering education from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.
The three-building complex includes a rectory from 1908 and a parochial school from 1914, all recognized on the National Register of Historic Places.
