Church of St. Salvator, Old Town, Prague
P1100216.JPG
The church was built by Prague Lutherans in Renaissance style. It was completed in 1614. But then the Thirty Years' War came. Non-Catholics were expelled from Bohemia.
The church was given to Catholic monks - paulians. They rebuilt it in the Baroque style. Emperor Joseph II. canceled paulians. The church was deconsecrated and used until 1857 as a mint.
In 1863 the Evangelical Church bought it. And he still uses it.
