Sbor českých bratří

A preserved and restored monument, an important proof of cultural and religious history in Bohemia.

I was here at Tomáš Vanek's Christmas concert, and it was a beautiful experience.

Heading south along Palacko Street, the road takes you to a small square named after the Czech Czobrat Cathedral. Unlike classical medieval squares, at the base of which lies a geometric square, Cheshkobratsky Square stretched out a triangle. Small, neat three- and two-story old houses, with dense buildings framing this slightly expanding space, create a special architectural provincial flavor. Here you will not find grotesque and screaming buildings, on the contrary - everything is modest and cozy at home. Even the centrally located benches with their hinged flower beds surrounding them emphasize this atmosphere. The dominant construction of the square, as one would expect from its name, is the Czech Brothers Church, founded in the 16th century. The Congregation of Czech Brothers is an important monument of Mlad Boleslav, and his design is one of the oldest Renaissance pseudo-basilicas outside of Italy. Today, the building houses an exhibition and concert hall with unique acoustics. The construction of the church began in 1544. The architect was Italian Matteo Borgorelli. The congregation was completed on Easter in 1554. The Czech brothers were actively engaged in education, they built the first printing houses in Mladá Boleslav. At the beginning of the 17th century, the church was transferred to the Catholic Church. In 1787, a military depot was placed here, which caused a violation of the stability of the building. In 1899, the building was purchased by the city and the museum was located. In 1905, the complete restoration of the heavily destroyed monument began under the direction of architect Antonin Ville, which was completed in 1908. In the 1970s, another major overhaul took place, turning the choir into the aforementioned concert and exhibition hall.

A beautiful exhibition of children from ZUŠ. Great children's movies with beautiful music. I'll take down one star for clutter and dirt on the balcony. And glass displayed on black tablecloths. Depressive. Toilets clean, large. But the toilet itself is child's size.
