📍 Kostel Nanebevzetí Panny Marie

About the venue

The three-nave Neo-Romanesque basilica on náměstí Starosty Pavla is the centrepiece of central Kladno. It was built in 1897-1899 to a design by Ludvík Lábler on the site of a Gothic church recorded since 1352, and consecrated on 7 June 1900. The vestibule contains a walled-in Renaissance tombstone of Jiří Žďárský ze Žďáru, whose family owned the Kladno estate for over a century. After a ceiling collapse in the 1980s the church underwent major restoration and was re-consecrated in 2000 by Cardinal Vlk.
