 church, Russian Orthodox Church, 1890s construction

The construction of this Byzantine style orthodox church was inspired by a church nearby Moscow. This distinct building can hardly be overlooked. It is seated among mostly Art Nouveau villas in Krále Jiřího Street. The abundant decorations of the church were partially sponsored by the wealthy patients of Serbian & Russian origin who seek treatment in Karlovy Vary. One of the decorations is a relief representing Russian Tsar Peter the Great.
