A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO PRAGUE

The Orthodox Church of St. Vladimir

This Orthodox Church in the Russia-Byzantine style was built from 1900-1902. The church is noteworthy for its artwork, not just the beautiful architecture, but also the internal furnishings. The interior is richly decorated, including icons from the 17th century. The enamel-majolica iconostasis, a ceramic wall decorated with icons separating the chancel from the church’s main area, is unique as well as the largest of its kind. This iconostasis was exhibited at the world exhibition in Paris in 1900, where it won the main prize. This church is not hard to find, it lies above Hlavní Street in the town centre, but if you ask the locals for the way, then bear in mind they all know it as the Russian Church.

Services take place throughout the year, every Sunday at 10 am.
