Husův sbor Vinohrady
Czechia
Look up before you do anything else. On the corner of Dykova and U vodárny, near Bezručovy sady, a 34.5-metre tower rises in six open storeys. It is not really a tower in the solid sense at all: four corner piers of reinforced concrete with nothing filling the gaps between them, so you can see straight through the frame to the sky. At the very top sits a copper chalice, the emblem of the Hussite church, 2.35 metres tall and weighing 700 kilograms. It was put there so the neighbourhood would know that a Czechoslovak Hussite congregation had arrived, and it still does that job across the rooftops of Vinohrady.
