svatý Gothard
Czechia
Look up at the square before you look at the church, because its name is part of the story. You are standing on Krupkovo náměstí in Prague 6-Bubeneč, named after František Krupka, the local dean who served here as parish priest-dean from 1922 until his death in 1942. Before 1901 the square had no name at all; from 1901 to 1910 it was simply U kostela, 'by the church', and from 1910 to 1947 Kostelní náměstí. The building it was named around is the Roman Catholic parish church of St Gothard: small, classicist and set on baroque foundations. It is described as the only sacred building of its kind in Prague.
