The bright red church standing on the Petřín had its first mention in 1135 as a Romanesque building. This was redesigned in the years 1735-1770 as a Baroque building.

Originally built in the 12th century, the church is a stunning example of Gothic architecture and a place of peace and contemplation.

It is said that over the centuries many nobles and clergy have found their final resting place in the Church of St. Lawrence. Their tombstones bear witness to the long history and interesting personalities who once lived in Prague.

The Church of St. Lawrence is worth a visit not only for its historical significance, but also for the special flair that surrounds it. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city, it offers a place of silence and inner contemplation. The impressive stained glass windows, the Gothic elements and the soft light that falls into the interior of the church add to the special atmosphere.

Surrounded by green parkland and with a breathtaking view of the city, the Church of St. Lawrence offers the ideal place to leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of Prague's history. After visiting the church, you can continue exploring Petřín Hill and discover the many sights, such as the observation tower or the mirror labyrinth.
