The Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord is a Roman Catholic church at Jiřího z Poděbrad Square in Prague's Vinohrady district. It was built between 1929 and 1932 and designed by the Slovene architect Jože Plečnik. Plečnik found the inspiration for this construction in old Christian and ancient patterns. The Czech sculptor Damian Pešan (1887–1975) created statues of Christ and six Czech patron saints above the main altar, and he also designed the liturgical vessels.
