St. Norbert - Norbertov

Relatively new is this church dedicated to St. Norbert. Its creation was initiated by the abbot of the Strahov monastery Zikmund Stary. The church was built in 1890-1891 in the Neo-Romanesque style.

The Church of St. Norbert was established as a successor to the Chapel of Our Lady of the Angels, which was no longer large enough for the faithful in Střešovice. Today, the chapel is part of the Baroque homestead Šlejferka, which serves as a religious house of the School Sisters of St. Francis, and public services are still held there daily. The church was built between 1889 and 1891 as a three-aisled vaulted basilica with a semicircular apse in the neo-Romanesque style by the builder Jaroslav Kuchta according to the project of the architect František Rožánek. The building belongs to the Strahov Monastery. Together with the church, a rectory building was built south of it (Farní Street, No. 2), and probably also a chapel, called Střešovická zvonička, in Nad Hradním vodojemem Street. In the church of St. Norbert's regular Roman Catholic services are held every Wednesday, Friday and throughout the weekend from 5:30 p.m., and on Sunday, a morning Mass is added from 9:30 p.m. The Church of St. Norbert was established as a successor of the Chapel of Our Lady of Angels, which by its capacity was not sufficient for the believers in Střešovice anymore.

To the great joy of the Střešovice believers, at the end of the 19th century it was decided to build a new church at today's Sibeliova Street. The construction was initiated by the abbot of the Strahov Premonstratensian monastery, Zikmund Starý. That is why the church was dedicated to St. Norbert, for this saint is the founder of this ecclesiastical order. The project was developed by architect František Rožánek in the neo-Romanesque style. As the foundations were excavated before the foundation stone was laid, which took place on May 7, 1890, the work progressed quickly. Therefore, already on July 12, 1891, the new tabernacle could be solemnly consecrated. Despite the heavy rain, numerous dignitaries, associations with their battalions and almost the entire population of Střešovice arrived. And what about the period press: “It is a beautiful neo-Romanesque building, which rises to a height on the Střešovice hill and dominates the whole landscape. It is 44 meters long, 13 meters wide and 15 meters high. There is a tall tower in the facade. The church is built in the form of a cross and has two side chapels. Inside is one main and two side altars. Opposite the church is a new parish building and a house for the churchman. " The front tower is square, decorated with an arched frieze and lysines, topped by triangular gables and an octagonal helical roof with a point and a poppy. Under the gables are three-part neo-Romanesque combined windows. The ascent to the tower is first by stone steps, from the level of the bar to the wooden staircase. The original two bells were requisitioned in World War I. Since 2001, a bell from 1611 has been hung here, which was moved here from the church of St. Jiří in Jevany - Aldašín. Five years later, a Felix bell cast in Passau was added. Church of St. Norbert also has a classic sanctuary tower on the ridge of the roof. There is a bell from 1891, ie from the time the church was opened. I had the honor of ringing in him. It's a wonderful feeling.
