  • 4/5 George On t. 3 years ago on Google
    This Early Baroque church was originally part of the former Jesuit dormitory (allegedly the third largest Jesuit complex in Europe), which today serves as a teaching hospital. A dominant feature of Karlovo Square, the church was built from 1665 to 1671 by the architect Carlo Lurago. The interior impresses visitors with its rich Baroque decoration and the effect of scattered light. The furnishings come primarily from the period around the year 1770.

    Beautiful early baroque style church built by the Jesuits in early 17th century and consecrated to the patron of the Order

  • 5/5 Mira M. Y. 11 months ago on Google • 282 reviews
    A very peaceful one located on Charles Square. The church was designed by Carlo Lurago in the early Baroque style, and was built as part of the new Nove Mesto residence of the city's Jesuits, the third largest Jesuit complex in Europe, dedicated to their patron saint and founder of the Jesuit Order, St. Ignatius of Loyola. The interior is very impressive for its light and decorations. A must visit place when you are in Prague.

    (Translated by Google) I always go there for Mass before the night for onko. Quite an encouraging place. It is a pity that it does not serve even early in the morning, I would go before the day and I think a lot of other people .... Beautiful church, normal priests, fine ... (Original) Chodím tam vždycky na mši před noční na onko. Dost povzbuzující misto. Škoda, že neslouží i brzy ráno, zašel bych i před denní a myslím, že i spousta dalších lidí.... Krásný kostel, normální kněží, fajn...

    Beautiful large baroque church on Karlovo Namesti. Sometimes all the gilding seems overdone, but this one is pretty glorious. 11 am Latin mass was a nice surprise.

    This nearly 400 year old church is a hidden gem at Prague. It is richly adorned with white, pink & gold interiors. We were lucky to have gone inside during Evening Prayers and it was a beautiful experience. Highly recommend to everyone for a peaceful experience.
