Why this church?
From 1156 to 1159, the Knights Hospitaller received land south of the bishop’s court, near the bridgehead of the former Judith Bridge. The centre of the Hospitallers was the Church of Our Lady beneath the Chain, whose name reflects the fact that a chain was used either to seal the gate of the commandry or to block boats on the river to prevent them from passing through Prague without paying customs duties.

In addition to its rich heraldic ornamentation, the church is also noted for the carved tombstones under which members and superiors were buried. 

Church administred by the Grand Priory of Bohemia of the Order of Malta (Johannites), owned by the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta.
