Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius is a famous church, situated in the Karlin district of Prague and it is one of the largest religious building in the Czech Republic. It is considered as one of the most important religious buildings from the historical days. The church was built in the 19th century, between 1854-1863. Two of the greatest architects of that time, Carl Roesner and Vojtech Ignac Ullmann. The basic plan and the construction of the building were done by these two architects, whereas different artists of the Czech Republic, played their part in the decor of the church. Josef Mathias Trenkwald and Frantisek Sequences led these artists. In 1863, the church was consecrated on the 18th of October.
The main nave and two towers of the building are elevated highly and add the extra royal spark to the exterior of it. Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius has been built in the inspiration of Neo-Romanesque style and remains one of the most beautiful buildings in Prague since years. The last decor that was ever done on the church was in 1905. It was done in art nouveau style as in the 1900s, this style of art raised to popularity swiftly.
However, in 2002 a horrendous flood came in Prague which massively affected the Church and a lot of other buildings in Prague. The church was then repaired in all possible ways to make it just like it was before the flood.
