Absolutely beautiful, mystical and full of goodness! Visited in February, a family with children, children liked this place too. Hidden gem. This is a working church, we have witnessed a baby baptism.

This is the site where Czech paratroopers went into hiding after their assassination attempt (Operation Anthropoid) on Reinhard Heydrich, the highest ranking Nazi assassinated during WW2. You can still see the impacts of bullets around the window from a gun battle with the Nazi's days after the attempt. There is a small but very well done museum on site too that outlines the events surrounding the operation. From the museum, you enter the crypt of St. Cyril where some of the paratroopers made their last stand. The crypt now houses memorials to the fallen heroes. To better understand the significance of the event and this site in particular, I highly recommend watching the 2016 movie "Anthropoid" before you visit.

As a WW2 history buff, this was a must stop on our visit to Prague to see the crypt. When there in 2022, it was closed for an event, so we were glad to be able to visit this trip. Having read various books and viewed documentaries and movies about it, it was fabulous to be able to be in the place where the bravery of these men took place. The crypt itself is sobering and has busts of the heroes. There are many explanatory panels and artifacts here and in the small museum upstairs. It was a privilege to visit. Booklets with the story are free to visitors but I was very happy to make a donation.

Beautiful church which played a part in operation anthropoid. Only managed a brief visit due to event being on. Stunning inside. Beautiful on the outside. Can still see the bullet holes from during WW2. Take time to stop by especially if visiting the memorial museum underneath it
