St. Nicholas Church on the Old Town Square has one of the most remarkable church interiors in Prague
This monumental Baroque church of St. Nicholas on Prague Old Town Square is a masterpiece created by a genius of his time Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer. Completed in 1737, the church was first owned by the Catholic Church, later by the Orthodox Church and now it belongs to the Czechoslovak Hussite Church founded here in 1920.
The original design of the ceiling, frescoes (by K. D. Assam), stucco decoration (by B. Spinetti) and statues (by A. Braun) are a masterful example of the Baroque sense of dramatic effect. Completed by a splendid chandelier, donated to the Orthodox Church by Russian Tsar Alexander II. in 1880, St. Nicholas church on Old Town Square has one of the most impressive church interiors in Prague.
The front of the church was originally located at a small square called "Hen Market" and the church itself was surrounded by many other buildings, hence its strange orientation. The house right next to the church stands on the birthplace of Franz Kafka. Popular classical music concerts in St. Nicholas Church are among the most favourite ones. After the evening concert, the Old Town Square enlighted by lanterns and night lighted Church of Our Lady before Týn are an unforgetable sight!
Important:
- St. Nicholas church on Old Town square is heated during the winter.
- The church as such is not wheelchair accessible, as there are stairs to enter. No lift, no ramp. However, before each concert there are assistants ready to carry the wheelchair in the church.
How to get there:
- Accessibility by Prague public transport:
metro A (green line) - Staroměstská station
tram - Staroměstská stop - Nearest car parking: Rudolfinum Parking, Alšovo nábřeží 12, Prague 1

Schöne Atmosphäre und Klassik zum Entspannen. Wir haben es genossen!

The location was superb and this was worth of being there. But the quality of the concert itself was average : beside the last Dvorak piece, the rest of the concert was standard and the play of the musicians was not exceptional.

An amazing performance by such talented musicians, in a beautiful and historic setting. The acoustics were perfect and the set list was all well known pieces that even people who aren't familiar with classical music, would know and enjoy. Especially liked that due to the venue, quite a small audience. A very enjoyable concert.

La música , los músicos , la Iglesia , una combinación perfecta , una experiencia recomendable 100% para los amantes de la música clásica . Inicio puntual, duración de acuerdo al programa. Había un poco de Frío , a pesar de los calefactores a gas. El resto excelente .

The musicians were high quality and the program has some pretty difficult sections. The only thing keeping this from being an excellent rating is that I did not know all the pieces being played. The program Advertised 60 minutes but only listed 4 named pieces. They played at least 8 and it lasted the full hour I hope I get the chance to come again
