Disappeared churches of Prague.
Before the foundation of the Lesser Town, it was a small church of Nebovidy, a one-aisled Romanesque building from the mid-12th century. Between the square presbyterium and the nave was originally a tower. The fact that the church was Romanesque, made of rectangular masonry, was discovered by chance only in 1955 by dr. Vladimír Píša, who then measured and drew the church. The length of the nave was about 12 m, width about 7 m. The remains of two windows, which were later walled up during the later reconstruction, also came from the Romanesque period. Extensive Gothic reconstruction around 1378 attached to the church a nave with a cross vault and sacristy. Around 1390 the interior of the church was decorated with beautiful paintings by an unknown artist who was taught in the workshop of the Master of the Trebon Altar. One of the most beautiful paintings is the painting of St. Dorothy and st. St. Lawrence, Virgin Mary and St. Ondřej. The Passion of St. Erasmus and St. The Lawrence is conceived of Gothic, while the Nativity, the Adoration of the Magi and the Annunciation to the Shepherds are in Romanesque style. The murals were discovered in 1988 when Gothic plaster was exposed. Then the remnants of the paintings were restored.
In the years 1985 - 91 the dilapidated building underwent a general reconstruction according to the design by ing. Arch. Josef Hyzler. The church was transformed into a music and exhibition hall with the maximum possible preservation of its original architectural qualities. It is used mainly for Prague Spring concerts, Prague Spring Friends Club and for recordings of Renaissance and Baroque music. This is also made possible by the fact that in 1995 a newly reconstructed magnificent Baroque organ was built here by the renowned Czech organist Bedřich Semerád.
It is a place that will caress you with the atmosphere of the environment and when you add beautiful concerts prepared for us by wonderful people from the Prague Spring then we leave filled with beautiful 🤗,
At the bar of the concert hall they have quality wines and coffee and in addition to this district at a very reasonable price. It is not only possible to sit here, but only to stand, which does not have to be a shame during a break during a concert for a while.
