evangelický kostel v Třebíči Church
Church of Evangelists in Třebíči stands on Brother's class and belongs to the Choir of the Czech Brotherhood Church Evangelical. Its creation follows a long tradition of Protestantism in the region. In 1897, a Brotherhood Unity was founded in Třebíči; Five years later, the city of Třebíč sold land for the construction of a brotherly prayer house. The original intention was to set up the collection house according to the design of architect Jurkovic, but later decided to build the temple. The construction permit was extended from 1903 and a plan was selected for construction from the Viennese architect Zlatohlavka. The builder was the local company Kosik.
The construction of the church lasted from September 1909 to 1910, when the temple was completed and on 12th August it collapsed. The internal equipment was provided by the Brno company K. Pears and also installed electrical wiring, which was still exceptional in such an early period. On 15 August 1910 the ceremonial opening and sanctification of the church took place; ceremony present superintendent Ferdinand Císař and ceremonial sermon led by Josef Dobeš from New Town. Apart from the church itself, there was also a neighboring choir house with a parish. It started in the spring of 1928 and until the last day of the year of the same year it was collaborated; It contained a church and parish apartment, a room for biblical education, and the so-called Tardy Hall for a larger gathering.
The war and postwar periods have resulted in considerable interference with the construction. During the First World War, organ whistles and brass mound were seized; The rest of the precious metals were protected by the congregation by laying in the garden of the rectory. In November 1919 he initiated the formation of his separate congregation which was approved at the end of March 1920. A memorial plaque dedicated to three centuries since the gospels' departure into exile was revealed on 13 October 1929; during World War II, it was covered and the building marked with honorary and German inscriptions. The record was rediscovered in early 1946.
The second half of the 20th century brought a long series of renovations. Since 1947 there have been extensive repairs of the facade, the organ has been restored in the following years, the electrical network has been modified (220 volts have been transferred to summer 1949), and building status has been gradually improved including interior painting. The complex reconstruction of the organ took place in 1983, when a historical tool from 1849 was introduced. In the summer of 1988, the choir house obtained gas treatment.
Church architecture reflects the evangelical tradition of modesty. The tower without bells rises from the west front above the main entrance. The interior consists of a single ship with three rows of altar-oriented benches and a pulpit. The decoration remains evangelically simple. On the wall next to the entrance, the commemorative plate from 1915 commemorates the fifth anniversary of the burning of Master Jan Hus. Part of the church is a commemorative plaque dedicated to three centuries since the mass departure of Czech brothers from Třebíč to exile.
The visitor in the church will find authentic evidence of the restoration of the Czech Protestant community in the 20th century - from its founding in the epoch of national awakening to the war trials to the carefully guarded restoration in the hands of the religious congregation.

Welcome to this quiet but deeply symbolic place - the evangelical church in Třebíči at Brat's class. You are facing a simple but distinctive sacral structure that reflects the spirit and tradition of Czech Protestantism. Its simple shapes and modest architecture are not random - every detail here talks about faith, determination and the history of people who have found a spiritual home. Let's go together and see what this monument can tell us.
The first impression that will fill you here is a sense of peace and focus. In front of you is a single-boat church built in the years nineteen hundred nine to ten. Its creation is closely linked to the history of the Brotherly Unity, which established its association here in 18 hundred and ninety-seven. It was a time when the Czech Protestant religion was awakened again after centuries of persecution, and the Three-Bik believers wanted to have their own place where they could freely confess their faith. The church became not only a place of worship, but also a symbol of freedom and resistance to oppression.
Look at the front of the church. Its simple lines and absence of decorated facades reflect a Protestant tradition that emphasizes modesty and directness. The construction was designed by the Viennese architect Zlatohlavek, but was realized by the local company Kosík. The church was completed in nineteen hundred and ten and ceremonially opened on the 15th of August of that year. Its interior is as simple as the exterior - without demanding decorations, but with an atmosphere that encourages thought. Notice how light penetrates glass windows and reflects from smooth walls. This space was designed so that no one distracted attention from the most important: the words of God and the common prayer.
Now pay attention to some of the key moments that have taken place here. In nineteen hundred and nineteen local believers submitted a request to establish a separate congregation, which was only approved in March of the following year. This was an important step to enable the Three-Bik Gospels to fully live their faith without foreign supervision. Later, in nineteen hundred twenty-eight, the building of the choir house was completed, which served as a parish and a place for meeting the community.
The personalities associated with this church include Ferdinand Císař, Josef Dobeš or Jiří Zejfart - people who have earned the development of the local choir and its spiritual life. Their names remind us that the church was never just a stone building, but a living place where people met with different fates, but shared faith.
Now let's look at one of the most interesting things you can see here. In the interior of the church there is a commemorative plaque from the year nineteen hundred and fifteen, which commemorates the 500 anniversary of the burning of Master Jan Hus. This gestus was very important to local evangelists - reminding them that their faith had its roots in the dedication and bravery of the ancestors who, even in difficult times, were not going to turn away from their truth. Unfortunately, during World War I, the organ was confiscated from the church, which was another heavy blow to the community. But after the war, the believers continued to rebuild and the life of the church continued.
Take another look before leaving. The church is located in a part of the city called Horka-Domky, where the calm of the city building is mixed with the feeling of history. Its simplicity and modesty may remind you that the true power of religion lies in its content, not in external manifestations. If you have time, you can also look at the nearby choir house, where there are today other monuments and documents that tell other chapters of this fascinating history.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by. This church is not only a monument to stones, but a living place where the past and present meet. Whether you're religious or just a curious visitor, we hope you've taken away at least a little of what makes this building so special. If you liked what you discovered here, you can go back or continue to explore other parts of this beautiful city. May the peace and inspiration this church offers accompany you along the way. Goodbye.
