Impressions of the Hussite congregation in Zizkov. The building, dating from the 1920s, is named after the army leader Jan Zizka. Beside the large prayer hall is one named after Jan Amos Comenius. In addition to these, there was also office space, apartments for a spiritual keeper and for the secretary. The choir also provided space for meetings of the Union of Youth and Amateur Theatre Association Zizka. In the main meeting hall there is a plaster statue by Frantisek Bilek "Tree thunderstruck with truth" that the municipal gallery lent in 1964.
