kostel svatého Antonína Velikého Church

At the site of today's neo-gothic temple was the construction of a wooden character in the 14th century. The revolutionary change came on June 17, 1579, when the reconstruction began to be a permanent stone building under the leadership of the masonry George Leyphold. The base stone was laid on September 24 and the building became the first stone building in Liberec. The sculptures were dealt with by Christoph Brief and the artists Michel and George of Hodkovice. The Gothic-style tower was completed in September 1582, when it was mounted on top of the tower with a commemorative list. The original builder could not handle the encroachment of the temple space, the builder Mark Antonio Spazio, who strengthened the construction with supporting pillars. The work ended on November 30, 1587.

During the following centuries the church passed many examinations. The lightning repeatedly damaged the tower, it was plundered by the Swedes during the Thirty Years' War and destroyed by the organ. Until 1695, when the Church of the Holy Cross was built, it remained the only temple in Liberec. The increase in the number of believers led in 1733 to the decision of Count Philip Josef from Gallas kostел to extend. Johann Felgenhauser from New Town under Smrk extended the construction, supplied her with a transverse boat and renovated the tower; the reconstruction ended on 16 October 1735.

The nineteenth century brought about a fundamental change. After the renovation in 1859 they started replacing the original low tower (37.30 m). The project was developed by Ludwig Tischler from Vienna and the construction board Heinrich Ferstel. The construction companies Sachers and Gärtner worked from 27 October 1879 to 27 August 1880, when the new tower was 70.50 metres high and the headroof was built. The tower was the tallest building in the city for years.

At the same time, there was extensive interior renovation. The floor was reduced by 50 centimeters, three crypts cancelled. Otto Dresen painted the temple according to the Vienna design, the stained glass was supplied by Filip Pohl and the Zittau painter Türcke. The altar and pulpit was built by the Vienna stonework firm Leimer, the church bench of Ruprechtic carpenter Franz Schefler. The work lasted from March 1881 to January 1883. On 13 June 1883 he was ordained as Archdeacon Church by the Litomeric Bishop Jan Schöbel.

In the 20th century, maintenance continued - new organ in 1930, two new bells in 1957, electrical ringtone in 1976. More extensive repairs took place between 1969-1971, 1978, 1980, 1981 and 1994. The Church of St. Anthony the Great remains one of Liberec's dominant and witness architectural evolution from Gothic to Baroque to neo-gothic.
