Best Catholic church in Czech

P	Piotr Osinski on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Jedyny jaki odwiedziłem, w którym mszę ksiądz odprawia po łacinie, tyłem do wiernych. Bryła kościoła wydaje się okazała, może dzięki niedawnemu odświeżeniu. Wewnątrz kościół zaskakuje jednak swoją skromnością i niewielką przestrzenią. Wart odwiedzenia w czasie mszy aby przypomnieć sobie dawny sposób odprawiania obrządku. The only one I have ever visited, where the priest celebrates Mass in Latin, with his back to the faithful. The shape of the church seems to be magnificent, maybe thanks to the recent renovation. Inside, the church surprises with its modesty and small space. Worth visiting during the mass to recall the old way of celebrating the rite.
K	Karel Spěvák on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Původně františkánský, později dominikánský kostel. V třicetileté válce zničen a k obnově došlo cca v 18. století U kostela budova kláštera, kde se nachází charita. Velmi zajímavé varhany. Návštěva v rámci akce "Litoměřice, okruh církevní památky". Celkem 8 objektů. Cena 150,- Kč a k tomu po splnění návštěv dostanete kávu a pivo. Originally a Franciscan, later a Dominican church. Destroyed in the Thirty Years' War and restored in the 18th century, near the church, the monastery building, where the charity is located. Very interesting organ. Visit within the event "Litoměřice, circuit of a church monument". A total of 8 objects. The price is 150 CZK and you will receive coffee and beer after completing the visits.
V	Vladimir Pecha on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Bývalý klášter františkánů – minoritů s krásným jednolodním kostelem sv. Jakuba při městských hradbách je poprvé zmíněn roku 1233 a jde patrně o nejstarší klášterní komplex v městě. Za třicetiletých válek byl téměř zničen. V letech 1730-1740 jej obnovil Octavio Broggio, dokončen byl však až po jeho smrti roku 1758. Za vlády císaře Josefa II. byl řád zrušen a roku 1788 se sem nastěhoval řád dominikánů. Hlavní oltář pochází od Jana Hennevogela z roku 1769. V klášterní chodbě byl objeven původní vstup s portálem do kostela. Dnes bývalý klášter slouží jako pečovatelské zařízení Charitního domova Zdislava. Former Franciscan/Minorite Monastery with the beautiful single nave church of St. Jacob placed formerly at the city walls was first mentioned in 1233 and is probably the oldest monastery complex in the city. During the Thirty Years' War it was almost destroyed. Between 1730-1740, Octavio Broggio restored it, but the whole building was completed after his death in 1758. Under the reign of Emperor Joseph II. the Franciscan/Minorite order was abolished and the Order of the Dominicans moved in by the year 1788. The main altar was made by Jan Hennevogel in 1769. The original entrance to the church was discovered in the monastery corridor. Today, the former monastery serves as a care facility for Zdislava Charity Home.
