The church is a small part of the complex. The “Mordor of Prague” is the Emmaus Monastery, whose 17th century Baroque towers (on the otherwise mostly Gothic building) were destroyed by American bombardment meant to target Dresden, and the spires replaced them during a rare Communist-era (1964-1968) reconstruction of a church building. During the time, a Brutalist “mushroom” was added into the monastery park (thankfully too short to be seen from the river), and the Architecture and Urban Planning Centre is located there now.

What is that unusual tower-like building in the background? A church?
