Church of the Holy Trinity - Trojická 398/17

handsomely

Beautiful experience of the action of night churches

A wonderful place with an amazing celebrating floor.

The church is temporarily closed. But that didn't stop you from imagining my grandmother and grandfather at the wedding in April 1923 !!!

Small and beautiful church with its bulb-shaped tower.

An impressive building that has the magical charm of old sacral buildings. Its location near the Vyšehrad mine certainly contributes to the overall impression of this interesting building. Unfortunately, the church interior can only be admired by some days that are intended for the public. The loci genius of this place will surely attract his very interesting surroundings.

A typical example of how even a simple sacral structure can look beautiful and majestic. On the site of today's church stood already in the 14th century a Gothic chapel dedicated probably to St. Antonín or Ondřej. It served the inhabitants of the long-defunct village of Podskalí, which is first mentioned in 1198, but is probably much older. The livelihood of the locals was mainly associated with the nearby Vltava River. In 1348, Podskalí became part of the New Town. In 1358, the chapel is documented as a sanctuary of local craftsmen, especially those employed in the construction of the nearby church of the Virgin Mary in Slovany. It was burned down during the Hussite wars, and during the reconstructions around 1463, the consecration of the Holy Trinity was changed. Today's appearance of the church is based on Baroque reconstructions. During the redevelopment of Podskalí at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, this church was one of the few buildings that was not demolished. The main portal altar from the end of the 17th century is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and is complemented by a statue of the Infant Jesus of Prague in a gilded cabinet. The north wall of the nave is fitted with side altars of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary and St. Anny. The south wall is decorated with the altar of St. John of Nepomuk and the Virgin Mary Queen. Several tombstones from the 16th - 18th century are set in the floor of the church, the most interesting from 1585 belongs to the physician Václav.

To the south of the Emmausky monastery, on the street Troyskaya, there rises a small church named after the Most Holy Trinity. The history of this temple is inextricably linked with the monastery itself. According to legend, the Church of the Most Holy Trinity was built in 1353 on the spot where the church of St. Andrew once stood. Craftsmen employed in the construction of the Emmaus Monastery, in their free time worked for free and the construction of the Church of the Most Holy Trinity. Therefore, when you suddenly hear from the locals that this is the church of "all artisans", do not be surprised - this is how people remember the memory of the disinterested work of craftsmen. It should be noted that the construction of the Church of the Most Holy Trinity was not spent a penny, as the workers took all the building material from the construction site of the monastery. During the Hussite Wars, in 1420, the temple of the Most Holy Trinity was destroyed. Only with the onset of peacetime, he was able to recover. The temple became the center of one of the poorest parishes of Prague, and it was possible to maintain it in proper condition with great difficulty. The most significant donations for its maintenance were collected only on the feast day, when pilgrims from other parts of Prague flocked to the temple. In the 18th century there were several attempts to bring the building in order. In 1728-1729 the nave of the church was expanded. In 1751, the Golgotha ​​Chapel was attached to it. In the years 1781-1782 - an octagonal sacristy and a new bell tower were built. As a result, by the end of the century the building was completely renovated and its appearance acquired some baroque features. In 1871, the lobby was built in front of the entrance to the church, which gave the building volume and conciseness.
