The Residenz is not a church - it is a palace.

To settle the question of the Magen David decoration on the "Residenz", it
really is necessary to determine whether this design was used on any other
churches built in central Europe in the 19th century, or whether the
architect Josef Hlávka (February 15, 1831 - March 11, 1908) used this design
element in any of the other buildings he designed.
Hlavka was a very well known and famous architect and is still well
remembered in his native Czeck Republic. It should be easy to access
photographs of other buildings he built.

I have a recent photograph of a private house in Sadagora, which is also
adorned with decorations of the star of David, but have no idea whether this
house was initially built for Jewish owners. I will gladly send it to
anyone who wants to see it.
