The name of the main church confirms the orientation of our predecessors and their relationship to the Bible. A story in the Gospel has it that on Mount Tábor near Genezaret Lake in Palestine Jesus changed his appearance before the very eyes of his followers to show them that he was the God’s son.

In the place of the contemporary dean church a wooden church used to stand which was more like a barn than a religious structure. In the 1480´s the construction of a new, more monumental sanctuary began. Stanek of Prague, having proved his skills in the town hall, was summoned again. About the year 1512 he finished the interior of the church. The church has a nave and two adjacent aisles on the sides. While the presbytery is vaulted over with a rare diamond vault, the rest of the church has a tracery vault. The church was built at the same time as the town hall, which means they both bear similar architectural features - of the late Gothic period. However, due to later alterations the church has also signs of other architectural styles. First Renaissance gables were added, then a Renaissance gallery lengthened the Gothic tower, and in 1677 all this was topped with a Baroque dome designed by Giovanni ad Capauli. At the end of the last century the architect Josef Mocker renewed the medieval appearance of the church.

The temple built in late Gothic style from the 15th and 16th centuries. The shell of the temple building was completed on the outside by Renaissance gables. The Gothic tower grew with a Renaissance corridor. Architect Josef Mocker tried to restore the medieval form of the temple building by modifying it in the Gothic spirit.

The church is open to the public, with a warning to keep quiet. You can climb the church tower, 200 steps, 50 meters high. You will see Žižkovo náměstí, as if in the palm of your hand, the view of the surroundings is wonderful.
