(Translated by Google) Art Nouveau Roman Catholic Church built between 1904 and 1905 by the Association of St. Boniface according to the project of architect Matěj Blecha, builder in Karlín. At the beginning of the 20th century, the chapel of Libeň Castle did not have enough capacity for the faithful. The need for a larger worship stand in Liben was solved by the offer of the Emmaus Association of St. Bonifác in Prague, which in 1904 offered the Libeň clerical administration to build a temporary church of the Lord. Despite disagreement and obstacles, the Association of St. Boniface with the construction of a church on the leased land of the Košinka homestead, owned by Emanuel and Dr. Hugo Graba. Preparatory work began on October 3, 1904. Shortly before the Easter holidays in 1905, the construction in the main cases was completed and on April 8, 1905, with the participation of the parish priest of Libeň P. Václav Stejskal, it was approved as a temporary building until 1910, because according to the design regulation Libně a street was designed on part of the land. The next day, the church was consecrated by the Holy Bishop František Krásl, and it is estimated that 10,000 people attended the celebration. According to the agreement, the new church was to be dedicated to Blessed Agnes Přemyslovna. However, as no permission was requested to the Vatican in time, the Archbishop of Prague, Cardinal Lev Skrbenský of Hříště, decided that the new church be dedicated to St. Adalbert. This probably happened because the association of St. Boniface published a Czech periodical with the same title. The makeshift church was accompanied by problems from the beginning. Already in September 1905, a large storm with hail hit Libeň, which shattered 22 large and 6 smaller glass panels near the new church. The water flowed into the church through both towers and damaged especially the organ. Further damage was brought by the First World War, on October 28, 1916, bells were removed from the chateau chapel and the new church for the collection of metals. After the abolition of the chapel on Pelc Tyrolce in 1935, the partially damaged inventory was transported to Libno for the needs of the church of St. Adalbert. In the same year, a choir was built and rods were installed above the middle part of the nave. During the repair of the chateau chapel in 1939, the church of St. Vojtěch transferred the altar of the Holy Trinity and the roof of the church was repaired. The repeatedly extended temporary character of the building, combined with the constant hope for the construction of the definitive temple of the Lord, caused neglect of maintenance and gradual decay of the building. The unit for the construction of the Lord's temple in Liben covered only the most necessary needs of the church. At the end of World War II (March 25, 1945), Anglo-American troops raided Prague and heavy bombing hit the Košice region. Bombs dropped on the Sokol playground and the adjacent park shattered the church's windows. On December 1, 1946, a new spiritual administration was established at the Salesians in Kobylisy, and Cyril Ondra became the first pastor. Even in the post-war years, the hope for the construction of a new church was not relevant and after 1948 it completely disappeared. The unity for the founding of the Church of the Lord in Liben, established in 1885, ceased to exist in 1951. The Church of St. Adalbert was still falling into disrepair and it was necessary to proceed to the most necessary repairs in 1947–1948 for safety reasons. For financial reasons, only minor repairs were made, painting and the large window behind the altar was fitted with a metal net. The asbestos roof was also repaired and the place in front of the church entrance was modified. In May and June 1967, the roof was repaired, the tower and eaves were painted, and in May 1970, a new radio was purchased in the church at a cost of CZK 15,000, and speakers were installed on the columns and on the benches. The entire cargo was paid by an unnamed donor to honor the memory of his deceased mother. In July 1972, a storm damaged the roof of the church, which was only emergency secured against rain, and a year later the external plaster and roof covering were repaired. In the years 1986-1988, the exterior of the church was overhauled. However, the work was not carried out in sufficient quality and the subsequent long-term leakage damaged the original polychromy and unique decorative paintings. In the years 1996–2001, at the expense of the City of city ​​of Prague church completely repaired. A copper roof and electrical installations were set up, the restoration of the internal wooden structures was carried out, including the restoration of the original painted ornaments, and the restoration of the internal painting of the walls. (Original) Secesní římskokatolický kostel postavený v letech 1904 až 1905 nákladem Spolku sv. Bonifáce podle projektu architekta Matěje Blechy, stavitele v Karlíně. Počátkem 20. století nedostačovala věřícím kaple Libeňského zámku svou kapacitou. Potřebu většího bohoslužebného stánku v Libni vyřešila nabídka emauzského Spolku sv. Bonifáce v Praze, který roku 1904 nabídl libeňské duchovní správě vystavět provizorní chrám Páně. Přes nesouhlas a překážky začal Spolek sv. Bonifáce s výstavbou kostela na pronajatých pozemcích usedlosti Košinka, majitelů Emanuela a Dr. Hugo Graba. S přípravnými pracemi se započalo 3. října 1904. Krátce před velikonočními svátky roku 1905 byla stavba v hlavních věcech ukončena a 8. dubna 1905 byla za účasti libeňského faráře P. Václava Stejskala kolaudována, a to jako provizorium do r. 1910, protože podle návrhu regulace Libně byla na části pozemku projektována ulice. Následující den byl kostel vysvěcen světícím biskupem Františkem Kráslem, podle odhadu se slavnosti účastnilo na 10 tisíc lidí. Nový chrám měl být dle dohody zasvěcen blahoslavené Anežce Přemyslovně. Jelikož ale nebylo včas požádáno do Vatikánu o povolení, rozhodl pražský arcibiskup kardinál Lev Skrbenský z Hříště, aby byl nový chrám zasvěcen sv. Vojtěchu. Nejspíš se tak stalo proto, že spolek sv. Bonifáce vydával české periodikum se stejným názvem. Provizorní kostel provázely od počátku problémy. Již v září 1905 postihla Libeň velká bouře s kroupami, která rozbila u nového kostela 22 velkých a 6 menších skleněných tabulí. Voda zatekla oběma věžemi do kostela a poničila zejména varhany. Další újmu přinesla první světová válka, dne 28. října 1916 byly pro sbírku kovů sňaty zvony ze zámecké kaple i z nového kostela. Po zrušení kaple na Pelc Tyrolce v roce 1935 byl částečně požárem poškozený inventář převezen do Libně pro potřeby kostela sv. Vojtěcha. Ve stejném roce byl vystavěn chór a osazena táhla nad střední částí chrámové lodi. Při opravě zámecké kaple v roce 1939 byl do kostela sv. Vojtěcha přenesen oltář Nejsvětější Trojice a na kostele opravena střecha. Opakovaně prodlužovaný provizorní charakter stavby, spojený s neustálou nadějí na postavení definitivního chrámu Páně, způsobil zanedbání údržby a postupné chátrání objektu. Jednotou pro postavení chrámu Páně v Libni byly hrazeny jen nejnutnější potřeby kostela. Koncem 2. světové války (25. března 1945) provedla angloamerická vojska nálet na Prahu a silné bombardování zasáhlo i oblast Košinky. Bomby shozené na sokolském hřišti a přilehlém parku roztříštily okna kostela. Dnem 1. prosince 1946 byla zřízena nová duchovní správa u Salesiánů v Kobylisích a prvním farářem se stal Cyril Ondra. Ani v poválečných letech nebyla naděje na postavení nového kostela aktuální a po roce 1948 zanikla úplně. Jednota pro založení chrámu Páně v Libni, ustavená v roce 1885, zanikla v roce 1951. Kostel sv.Vojtěcha stále chátral a bylo nutné z důvodu bezpečnosti přikročit v letech 1947–1948 k nejnutnějším opravám. Z finančních důvodů se provedly jen drobné opravy, vymalování a veliké okno za oltářem bylo opatřeno kovovou sítí. Opravena byla i eternitová střecha a bylo upraveno i místo před vchodem do kostela. V květnu a červnu roku 1967 byla opravena střecha, nátěry věže a okapů a v květnu 1970 byl v kostele pořízen nákladem 15 tisíc Kčs nový rozhlas, byly instalovány reproduktory na sloupy i na lavice. Celý náklad uhradil nejmenovaný dárce k uctění památky své zemřelé matky. V červenci roku 1972 poškodila vichřice střechu kostela, ta byla jen nouzově zajištěna proti dešti a o rok později byly opraveny vnější omítky a krytina střechy. V letech 1986-1988 proběhla generální oprava exteriéru kostela. Práce však nebyly provedeny v dostatečné kvalitě a následným dlouhodobým zatékáním byla poškozena původní polychromie a unikátní dekorativní malby. V letech 1996–2001 byl na náklady Magistrátu hl. města Prahy kostel kompletně opraven. Byla zřízena měděná střecha a elektroinstalace, provedeno restaurování vnitřních dřevěných konstrukcí včetně obnovení původních malovaných ornamentů, obnova vnitřního nátěru zdí

At the beginning of the 20th century, the chapel of the Libeň Castle was not enough for the faithful. For that reason, the Art Nouveau Roman Catholic church was exhibited between 1904 and 1905 at the expense of the Society of St. Bonifáce according to the project of architect Matěj Blecha, a builder in Karlín. Preparatory work began on October 3, 1904. Shortly before the Easter holidays of 1905, the construction was finished and on April 8, 1905, with the participation of the priest of Liben, it was approved, and only provisionally until 1910, because according to the proposal of the regulation of Liben, a street was projected on part of the land. It eventually failed, as did the construction of the new church. The temporary building was repaired several times and still serves the Roman Catholic Church as a parish church. At the beginning of the 20th century, the chapel of nearby Libeň Chateau was not sufficient for the believers.

But it didn't happen as well as from the construction of the new church. The temporary building was repaired several times and still serves as a parish church of the Roman Catholic Church.

The impressive building of the art nouveau church of St. Vojtěch. Church of St. Vojtěch The Art Nouveau Roman Catholic church was built between 1904 and 1905 at the expense of the Society of St. Bonifação according to the construction plans of the builder Matěj Blecha. The authorship of the temple is attributed in professional literature to Emil Králíček. The construction was approved on April 8, 1905, as a temporary measure until 1910, because according to the proposal of the regulation of Libně, a street was projected on part of the land. The following day, the church was consecrated by consecrating bishop František Krásl. Church of St. Vojtěcha is notable for its system of brick vertical constructions and wooden, intricately shaped roof trusses, with significant use of wooden decorative and architectural elements. The painting of the church refers to the art nouveau fondness for plant motifs. The roof of the tower has the shape of a six-sided helmet with a point and a poppy on top. The internal division of the temple space is three naves. Church of St. As one of the landmarks of Prague 8, Vojtěcha in Libni is a unique preserved hall building and a unique example of Art Nouveau sacral architecture from the beginning of the 20th century. The construction of the church is all the more important because Art Nouveau as an architectural style did not primarily count on sacral architecture of such dimensions. In 1987, the church was declared an immovable cultural monument.

Unique Art Nouveau sacral building of the church from 1905, interesting wooden decorative elements, cultural monument.

A not very well-known, but all the more interesting monument. A wooden Art Nouveau church, which was originally created as a temporary structure, but eventually survived to the present day. Definitely worth a visit.

Once it was supposed to be only a temporary church. This beautiful work is the work of arch. Kralicka. It's worth seeing, but it's hard to find a time when it's accessible. The magnificent interior stands out from the rest of the church. A forgotten gem of architecture in Prague.

It would be good if the church was open on weekdays as well.

I'm thinking about what to say about him. But I can only say one word. BEAUTY. Simple, painted walls and ceiling, no baroque paintings, airy..

(Translated by Google) An oasis of calm in a busy street. (Original) Oáza klidu v rušné ulici.

Definitely stands out along other churches in Prague

An amazing church built of wood. Simple yet interesting hand decoration.

(Translated by Google) There is a beautiful church inside and out. (Original) Je krásný kostel zvenku i zevnitř.

Včera se slavila madre tereza z kalkaty a moc pěkné to tam je

Úžasný kostel ⛪

I'm sorry but this review is not going to be nice. I didn't like the interior of the church at all, but that's my problem, someone may like this architecture, ok. The local parish priest crowned everything. Everyone just doesn't have the gift of preaching. Locals must have strong faith, I would go elsewhere.
