⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A meaningful and moving place in the heart of Prague. The Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius is not only beautiful, but also a powerful WWII memorial – the site of the resistance fighters’ last stand after Heydrich’s assassination. The crypt-museum beneath the church is modest yet unforgettable. Everything is presented with dignity and care. On Sundays, a small street market with food trucks and live music sets up nearby, adding a lively touch to this historic spot. Well worth a visit.

A peaceful church in Karlin This is a distinctive Catholic church in Karlin. There are nice public spaces around it. The church itself is striking and the interior is nicely decorated and peaceful. It should not however be confused with the other Church of Cyril and Methodius in Prague, which saw the commandos fighting the SS in World War II. The church with the gun battle is in New Town and not connected to this church in Karlin.

it’s the main church of the Czech Orthodox Church and a memorial to the heroes of the Heydrich terror. In 1942, the priest and bishop Gorazd offered a hiding place to seven Czechoslovak paratroopers who were sent from the UK. Two of them assassinated Reinhardt Heydrich, the acting protector of the Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren. It was built in the 30s of the 18th century as a Baroque Roman Catholic Church of St..

Сегодня мы с вами отправимся в пражский район Карлин, что находится у западного подножия холма Витков. Безусловно короной Карлина является величественный костел святых Кирилла и Мефодия, возвышающийся в тени вековых деревьев. Храм был построен в неороманском стиле на средства от пожертвований. Освятили его 18 октября 1863 году, когда по всей Чехии торжественно отмечали 1000-летний юбилей прихода братьев, принесших в Великоморавскую державу «христианское вероучение в языке и письме славянском». Костёл святых Кирилла и Мефодия на Карлинской площади считается одним из первых крупномасштабных образцов чешского историзма в архитектуре. Храм производит грандиозное впечатление. Следует отметить, что предместье Карлин возникло в 1817 году и спустя чуть более одно столетие (в 1922 году) оно вошло в состав Праги. Инициатором постройки храма на Карлине были архиепископ Шварценберг и пробст Вышеградского капитула Штульц. Первый камень фундамента был заложен в 1854 году. Грандиозный костел стал символом победившего имперского абсолютизма после подавления демократических революционных событий 1848–1849 годов. Автором проекта костела в неороманском стиле были австриец Карел Рёснер и чешский архитектор Войтех Игнац Ульман. Строительством управлял Ян Белски, каменными работами руководил Карел Свобода. Это было одно из крупнейших культовых строений Праги. Высота главного нефа составила 27,5 м; длина здания – 75 м, общая ширина – 31 м. Церковь выстроена в стиле позднероманской базилики с высоким главным нефом и башнями-близнецами. Здание делится на три нефа и пресвитерий, который завершён полукруглой апсидой. Над главным порталом северного фасада выполнено большое окно-роза. Под ним – карликовая галерея, в арках-нишах которой установлены фигуры десяти апостолов и Спасителя, работы чешского скульптора-монументалиста Винсента Восмика. Главный вход оформлен семью рядами колонн с каждой стороны и семью резными орнаментированными архивольтами. Над входом – рельефная композиция с изображением Иисуса, Кирилла и Мефодия, работы Вацлава Леви. Сюжетные рельефы жития патриархов церкви на бронзовых вратах были выполнены Людвиком Шимеком и Карлом Дворжаком по эскизам Манеса. А теперь давайте войдем в сам храм святых Кирилла и Мефодия. С двух сторон от главного входа с 1937 года были установлены деревянные скульптуры проповедников – работа резчика Бретислава Кафки. Потолочную фреску написал профессор Йозеф Матиас Тренквальд. Орган с тремя тысячами труб был изготовлен в 1898 году. В 1914 г. инструмент был расширен и стал крупнейшим церковным органом Чехии. Проект главного алтаря создал архитектор Ваксман; алтарные картины написал художник Франтишек Сераф Секуэнс. Майкснер выполнил росписи боковых нефов, рассказывающие о жизни и деяниях Христа, апостолов, Девы Марии, а также художник иллюстрировал легенду о святом Вацлаве. Серьезные разрушения нанесло старинному костелу наводнение 2002 г. Вода в храме достигала уровня 1,4 м, однако большинство произведений ведущих художников нескольких поколений сохранилось, а поврежденные творения были бережно восстановлены. В следующих слайдер вы также сможете увидеть внутреннее...

VERY IMPORTANT. This is NOT the correct place for the museum dedicated to the members of the WW2 Op Anthropoid team. This is despite having an almost identical name as the correct church & several reviews below stating that the crypt museum is here. IT IS NOT & I am at a loss to explain how these reviews, some of which contain pictures & videos of THIS location, state that it is?!?!?!?! Gentlemen, do not risk my fate of dragging your slightly hungover wife on a decent hike from Prague Old Town to this location expecting to see the Anthropoid Museum. That is unless you relish the prospect of being called a "half-wit" & a lot worse & then spending the next 10-15 years hearing the tale of "when that idiot took us to the wrong church in Prague" told & retold. You have been warned. That said a beautiful church in its own right, with a...

Trojlodní novorománská bazilika na Karlínském náměstí patří mezi největší české církevní stavby 19. století. Je 75 metrů dlouhá a 31 metrů široká, obě vysoké věže dosahují výšky přes 78 metrů. Na projektu kostela se podíleli architekti Karl Rösner a Vojtěch Ignác Ullmann, stavební práce prováděl Jan Bělský, kamenické práce Karel Svoboda. Základní kámen byl položen dne 10. června 1854 za účasti císaře Františka Josefa I. a císařovny Alžběty. Stavba trvala devět let a byla slavnostně vysvěcena 18. října 1863, u příležitosti milénia příchodu slovanských věrozvěstů na Moravu. Severní průčelí zdobí jedenáct soch, Kristus a deset českých patronů od Čeňka Vosmíka z roku 1913. Nad hlavními vraty uprostřed je postava Ježíše Krista a jemu po obou stranách klečí slovanští apoštolové Cyril a Metoděj. Malířská a sochařská výzdoba chrámu probíhala až do konce 19. století a podílelo se na ní několika generací známých výtvarných umělců.

The three-nave Neo-Romanesque basilica on Karlín Square is one of the largest Czech sacral buildings of the 19th century. It is 75 meters long and 31 meters wide, both tall towers reaching a height of over 78 meters. The architects Karl Rösner and Vojtěch Ignác Ullmann participated in the project. Jan Bělský carried out the construction work and Karel Svoboda stonework. The foundation stone was laid on 10 June 1854 with the participation of Emperor Franz Joseph I and his wife Empress Elizabeth. The construction lasted nine years and was ceremonially consecrated on October 18, 1863, on the occasion of the millennium of the arrival of the Slavonic missionaries to Moravia. The northern façade is decorated with eleven statues, Christ and ten Czech patrons by Čeněk Vosmík from 1913. Above the main gate in the center is the figure of Jesus Christ and the Slavic apostles Cyril and Methodius kneeling on both sides. The decoration and sculptural decoration of the temple continued until the end of the 19th century and was attended by several generations of...
