Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary: a Baroque church above a hidden stream at Malá Chuchle
Tucked into the quiet valley of Malá Chuchle, on the southern edge of Prague, stands a late Baroque church consecrated in 1774. Its story reaches back much further still: a parish church is thought to have stood on this spot as early as the 13th century, though that earlier building has long since vanished. The church rests just below the level of the surrounding road and stream, giving it an unusually intimate, sheltered feel. Since 2018, it has served Prague's Greek Orthodox community, generously entrusted to them by the Roman Catholic Church. Surrounded by the greenery of the Chuchelský háj forest and just steps from the former Chuchle spa quarter, it offers a serene, atmospheric setting for a concert unlike anywhere else in the city.
