More information A small church dedicated to St Clement stood close to one of the fords across the Vltava as early as the mid-eleventh century. Its dedication was associated with relics brought to Bohemia by the Slavic missionaries Constantine and Methodius. Although nothing remains of the original building, archaeological excavations have established that it was constructed from marlstone and river cobbles. It was not until the next phase of construction, in the twelfth century, that the church acquired its conventional rectangular, single-nave form. After 1226, King Ottokar I of Bohemia had it adapted for the Dominican order. That church was subsequently demolished and replaced by a new Gothic building in the early fifteenth century. Its later history was closely connected with the Utraquists, although one of its parish priests was Master Jan Protiva, a well-known opponent of Jan Hus. Nevertheless, the church remained in Utraquist hands until 1621. Major repairs had to be carried out after a fire in 1689. The church continued to serve its original purpose for almost another century, until Emperor Joseph II ordered its closure and the building was converted into a granary. It was not saved until the late nineteenth century, when the architects František Mikš and Josef Blecha restored its Gothic appearance for a Protestant congregation of the Helvetic Confession. Fragments of surviving Gothic wall paintings depict a Passion cycle in the Beautiful Style.
