History

The oldest part of the clinic is the church of Sv. Catherine, whose Gothic building was built at the time of the foundation of Charles IV. The original building was only a slim prismatic tower, which forms the facade of today's church.

The architects of the main baroque building with semicircular cross arms from 1737-1741 were Kilian Ignác Dientzenhofer and František Maxmilián Kaňka. Stucco Bernard Spinetti and sculptor František Weis participated in the interior decoration. The ceiling fresco was created by Václav Vavřinec Reiner.

The former convent building and large garden are a protected cultural monument of Prague. Within the former convent and later German psychiatry, thanks to academic Kamil Henner, a Neurological Clinic was established in 1945, which is still in operation today.
