overview opening hours about the place One prominent landmark in the centre of Holešovice is the parish Church of St Anthony of Padua. Designed by architect František Mikš, this pseudo-Gothic three-aisled church was built between 1908 and 1914. Two bells are housed in the 63-metre-high towers: The bell named Kliment dates from 1572, while Václav is a copy of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, and was presented by American compatriots to President Masaryk in 1919. During the Christmas season, the church displays a unique Slavic nativity scene with figures dressed in elaborate traditional costumes of the Slavic nations. more about the place opening hours january—december mon—fri 10:00—19:00 sat closed sun 7:00—12:00 17:00—19:00 more about opening hours opening hours january—december mon—fri 10:00—19:00 sat closed sun 7:00—12:00 17:00—19:00 Regular roman catholic masses Mon—Fri 18:00 Su 8:00 (except of summer holiday) 10:00, 18:00 At Christmas, visitors can see an original Slavic nativity scene with figures in traditional Slavic costumes. The work, by woodcarver Václav Cvekl and painter Karel Štapfer, was created in the early 20th century, originally as a nativity scene from the Chodsko ethnographic region. Figures representing other Slavic nations in their national costumes were later added, and so the nativity scene took on the name ‘Slavic’. It was purchased for the then newly built church in 1923 by the parish priest Silvestr Hrnčíř.
