Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord

Located in the Vinohrady district, this Roman Catholic church is noted for its unique architecture designed by Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik. Visitors go here to see the distinctive facade and the large sculpture positioned above the altar.

Visit Duration

Allow roughly 45 to 60 minutes to view the exterior architecture and explore the interior space.
