svatý Václav
Czechia
You find St Wenceslas at a crossroads, where Vítězná and Vašíčkova streets meet in the Rozdělov district of Kladno. It is a Roman Catholic parish church built between 1925 and 1927 in the Czech art deco manner, and it is worth knowing before you arrive that what stands here is a compromise. The architect, František Havlena of Prague-Vinohrady, who also designed the Archbishop's Seminary in Prague-Dejvice, imagined more than a church. His promotional drawing showed multi-storey apartment blocks on every corner of the junction, with the church, in striking red and white, presiding over the whole. A park was planned as well. It never happened.
