It's a beautiful church, it's a pity we couldn't get inside.
The Church of St. Wenceslas on Zderaza is a mixture of three architectural styles. The single-nave Gothic building in the middle of the 14th century replaced the Romanesque church, which was erected here in 1170-1181 for the needs of the parish of the former city of Zderaz. This settlement was founded long before the foundation of the New City, and the church and monastery nearby belonged to the Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre. Under Emperor Charles IV, the building turned into the Church of St. Wenceslaus - one of the parish churches of the New City with its own school and cemetery. But the echoes of the Romanesque style were preserved by the medieval tower rising above the roof of the western facade, and two windows on the same side of the church.
