Description
The church has an unusual shape due to the plot of land lying diagonally to the main road. The tower is oriented towards the main road. The rear part of the church with the nave, two rooms and the clergyman's flat on the first floor, is angled. The tower with the cross and the chalice, the symbol of the Hussites, dominates the building. The remaining areas are barely recognisable while standing on the street. The columbarium is inserted in the nave as well as the winter church (1941) in the rear, eastern area. This is a smaller room that can be heated better and more cheaply in winter than the larger nave.
At the entrance on the right side is located the foundation stone. It shows the year 1936 and the quotation Pravda vítězí (Truth prevails), which Jan Hus used in 1413 in a letter. This formula became the country's motto with the founding of Czechoslovakia in 1918.

History
Pivec drew up the plans for the church as early as 1935. In 1937 they were put into practice to give the Hussite community a church.
