AB This article concerns the architectural realization of the Neo-Romanesque Church of St. Cyril and Methodius in Prague-Karlin and the circumstances of its foundation in the context of the historic and urban development of Karlin. The aim of the construction reflects the ambition of Prague first suburb on its own representation and attempts of its autonomous ecclesiastic administration. The developmental process of Karlin church can be generally traced to the preserved architectural proposals. Construction progress can be reconstructed on the basis of several important events, such as the consecration of the building site and laying the foundation stone, and with the use of the Chronicle of Karlin and of the parish church. The aim of the author is not only the art historic evaluation, but also the cultural dimension of this realization.
