The
truly
interesting
prayer
hall
of
the
Czechoslovak
Hussite
Church
was
built
in
the
years
1930-1935
according
to
the
design
of
the
leading
interwar
architect
Pavel
Janák
in
the
constructivist
style.
The
three-part
building
consists
of
its
own
prayer
room,
a
tower
and
a
residential
building.
A
spiral
staircase
leads
through
the
interior
of
the
skeletal
reinforced
concrete
tower
without
a
perimeter
shell.
The
top
is
decorated
with
a
Hussite
chalice
over
two
meters
high
and
weighing
700
kg.
The
residential
building
is
five-storey
with
a
flat
roof.
In
1945,
a
replacement
radio
studio
was
set
up
in
the
building
of
the
Hus
Choir,
which
broadcast
calls
for
help
to
the
Prague
Uprising
between
May
7
and
9.
These
events
are
commemorated
by
a
monument
and
a
commemorative
plaque
on
the
northern
wall
of
the
building.
