Building of this church began in 1793 and only completed in 1761, after a delay of 50 years. It is the acknowledged masterpiece of of father-and-son architects by Christof and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer, Prague's greatest proponents of High baroque, although neither lived to see the completion of the church.

This is the best Baroque church in Czech Republic and one of the best in central Europe.
