Kostel sv. Víta

A beautiful chapel, and a wonderful view of Tuchoměřice.

A place of prayer and human acceptance

Different organizations in place. Church inaccessible during the tour.

Church of st. St. Vitus Cathedral was built in 1669 as part of an early Baroque Jesuit monastery, which was rebuilt from the original Renaissance chateau.

Church in a living parish with guitar services every Sunday at 10:30. Catechesis for children is done at masses. Good parking in the courtyard of the adjacent Chemin Neuf community monastery. After Sunday mass a monastery shop with refreshments and books is opened. I recommend to visit.

The early Baroque church was built on Zámecký vrch in the second half of the 17th century according to the design of the Italian architect Giovanni Domenico Orsi. In 1623, the Old Town Jesuits bought the estate of Tuchoměřice with a fortress from Otto Jindřich of Wartemberk. During the Thirty Years' War, both the buildings and the surroundings were deserted. A Jesuit residence with a new church was built on the site of a Gothic fortress and an old church. In the facade there are sandstone statues of St. Ignatius, St. Francis Xavier and St. Václav, probably from the workshop of Matyáš Bernard Braun. The interior dates from the second half of the 18th century. The single-nave rectangular building with barrel vaults without a tower (there is a sanctuary on the roof) has been a protected monument since 1958.
