Baroque church on Old Town Square, built between 1732 and 1737 to designs by Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer. The interior features ceiling frescoes by Bavarian painter Cosmas Damian Asam and a crystal chandelier shaped like a tsar's crown, donated by the Russian tsar. Since 1920 the building has been in the care of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church, which uses it as a concert hall renowned for its acoustics.
