The Church of St. Nicholas is one of the oldest churches in the Old Town area of Prague. It is mentioned in sources as early as 1273. It was originally a parish church and had a long tradition as a centre of preaching, with Milíč of Kroměříž, Matěj of Janov, and other representatives of Hussitism and the Reformation all preaching here. In 1635 the church came inot the possession of Benedictines from the monastery of Emauzy na Slovanech, who started to build a monastery here. The construction of the monastery lasted form 1727 to 1730, and when it was completed work was started on a new church, which was finally completed in 1735. Since 1920 the church has been used by Czechoslovak Hussite Church, the establishment of which was publicly proclaimed in this place in January of that year. Concerts of Renaissance, baroque, and classical music are held in the church of St. Nicholas throughout most of the year.
