Lonely Planet review for St Pius
Some wonderful European-influenced churches remain throughout Pilsen. The Poles had St Adalbert’s; the Irish had St Pius, a Romanesque revival edifice built between 1885 and 1892. Its smooth masonry contrasts with the rough stones of its contemporaries. Catholics of one ethnic group never attended the churches of the others, which explains why this part of town, with its concentration of Catholic immigrants, is thick with steeples.
