Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord

The Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord (Czech: Kostel Nejsvětějšího Srdce Páně) is a Roman Catholic church at Jiřího z Poděbrad Square in Prague's Vinohrady district.

This was one of three new buildings constructed in 1929 in Prague, inspired by the 1000th anniversary of the death of St. Wenceslas.

[2] In the wide 42 m high tower wall is a huge, 7.6 m diameter glazed clock (the largest in the Czech Republic).

Inside is an altar made of white marble, a three-metre gilded figure of Christ, and six statues of the patrons of Bohemia.

[3] During World War II, the six bells from the tower were melted down for arms production, and in 1992, two copies were returned.
