In 1579 it was destroyed and built on the already finished basement large stone church, which was consecrated in honor of St. Anthony the Great. It is designed in the Gothic style, has three naves, is decorated with a high square tower, which can be seen from anywhere in the neighboring streets.

By the conviction of the local guides, the shrine of St. Anthony - the first stone building in the city of Liberec. And accordingly, the first sacral building, built of stone blocks.

By the time the new church cemetery was long gone, his place was taken by streets and alleys, houses and bridges. Thus, the Church of St. Anthony is located near the central square, so her visit may be included in any excursion.

The church has suffered many times from the disaster strikes, so it is often repaired. During the Thirty Years War it almost totally destroyed the Swedes. At the time it was forgotten as the city has had other, it is the whole temple. However, in 1733, with the support of the rich nobles restore the temple, and extend it completely updated interior.

During the Second World War the church lost its bells: they melted on the needs of the German army. New bells were installed only in 1957, and given to the church in 1976 electric mechanism which imitated the sound of.
