In Prague, at the corner of the present Resslova and Dietrich Streets, stands a church on a rock, in the image of which three architectural styles have stood out. It is named after St. Wenceslas. The one-nave Gothic building replaced the Romanesque church in the middle of the 14th century, built here between 1170 and 1181 for the needs of the parish of the former town of Zderaz. This settlement was founded long before the founding of the New Town (for some time this area of Prague was called the same), and the church and monastery nearby belonged to the Order of Knights, who guarded the Holy Sepulcher.→
