St. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral, Prague Overview
Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius Cathedral, located in Nové Město, Prague, is the primary Czech and Slovak Catholic Church. This Church is a primary spot where important events occurred during the Second World War. This Baroque-styled Church was where Reinhard Heydrich, a Nazi police officer’s assassination, took place.
Two Czechoslovak paratroopers were deployed to Prague in May 1942 by their government in exile in London. They assassinated Reinhard Heydrich, the Nazi commander of Czechoslovakia. The paratroopers and many partisans who aided in the operation took refuge in the crypt under St. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral after the shooting. The tragic story is narrated in detail in the National Memorial to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror, which is placed in the church's crypt where the concluding events occurred.
