St. Adalbert Church (Prague)

The St. Adalbert Church ( Kostel sv. Vojtěcha v Jirchářich ) is a church building in the Czech capital Prague from the 13th century.

It was originally the church of a settlement of tanners and white tanners near the banks of the Vltava river . A second nave with its own presbytery was added to the south of the church around 1370. The keystones show the guild mark of the two trades.

The cruciform chapel was built around 1690 and the bell tower also around 1700. The entire church was redesigned outside and inside in Baroque style in 1720–1730 and re-gothicized again in 1875–1881. The late Gothic statue of St. Maria vom Zderaz from the end of the 15th century on the side altar comes from the second Zderaz church, which has not survived and from which the Gothic pewter font probably also comes.

The church is one of the parish and cemetery churches in the New Town of Prague . Patron is the Prague bishop and martyr Adalbert of Prague .
