The church of St Simon and Jude is a late-Renaissance and early-Baroque building in Prague's Old Town, completed around 1620 for the Brothers of Mercy. It no longer serves as a place of worship - today it functions as a concert hall, valued for its fine acoustics and regularly used by the Prague Symphony Orchestra and chamber ensembles.
