Modern church built in constructivist style by famous Czech architect Josef Gočár. The foundation stone was laid in May 1929.
The Church of St. Wenceslas is a modern three-nave sacral structure standing on Svatopluk Čecha square in Prague-Vrsovice. The reinforced concrete church, built between 1929-1930 according to the design of the architect Josef Gočár, is considered by experts to be one of the most successful functionalist ecclesiastical buildings in the Czech Republic.
This unique modern religious building with a staggered layout was built in 1929 - 1930 based on Josef Gočár's Constructivist design. It is considered one of the most important examples of architecture in Prague from the interwar period. An 80 metre prism tower topped by a clock and cross rises up from the front of the church. The architectural design, which was chosen from a competition in which over 50 architects participated, planned for a three-aisle skeleton reinforced concrete structure with a presbytery in the shape of a semi-circle. The design also took full advantage of the irregular, hilly terrain. The ceiling of the spacious, well-lit nave also features a staggered design.
