Church of St. Ladislaus
A classicist hospital church on Špitálska Street with Lütgendorf’s altar painting and 19th-century stained glass, next to St. Elizabeth’s.
Why visit
A hospital chapel of St. Ladislaus stood here as early as the late 14th century. Today’s classicist church was built in the 1830s by Ignác Feigler the Elder as part of a hospital complex.
It is a small, quiet interior that most people walk past – a few minutes inside give you a sense of the old hospital quarter on Špitálska Street.
What to see
- Altar painting: Apotheosis of St. Ladislaus by Ferdinand Lütgendorf, showing the saint above the church and hospital.
- Stained glass: windows by Ferenc Storno the Younger from the 19th-century restoration.
Plan your visit
Admission is free and a look around takes a few minutes. It is an active church, so come outside service times, dress modestly and keep quiet.
The Church of St. Elizabeth is next door and the Medical Garden a few minutes’ walk away.
