Monument Church

Nikolai Brodnikov

Annotation

On the banks of the Vltava River in the Holesovice district, a monumental concrete church is situated, its sculptural form dynamically breaking away from its flat surface. Its altar hovers above the water, providing panoramic views of the country's most important river through large windows. Before entering this majestic space, visitors pass through an atrium—an open-air courtyard. The interior of the church is ascetic, designed not to distract believers from their spiritual thoughts. The technical equipment of the church reflects that spirituality has a place even in the world of relentless progress. Behind the worshipers, there is a balcony with multimedia space, where a powerful acoustic system can amplify sound from electronic devices.
