## Visit Church of St. Barbara

Activities

#### Venture inside a grand Gothic cathedral that impresses with the scale and beauty of its architectural ambition and religious art.

The Church of St. Barbara, also known as St. Barbara’s Cathedral is one of the most famous buildings in Kutná Hora. The hilltop cathedral was built over five centuries and is considered to be a fine example of Bohemian Gothic architecture. Inside are medieval frescoes, chapels and elaborate reliefs and statues.

Construction started in the late 14th century during a time of economic prosperity in the city due to the silver mines. Several long periods of delay meant that the church wasn’t actually completed until 1905\. It is dedicated to St. Barbara, the patron saint of miners.

The grandiose appearance of the three-spired exterior is impressive. Bring a pair of binoculars or a camera with a good zoom to get a close look at the many statues of bats, frogs, winged rams and demons that sit on top of the church.

Tour the cavernous interior. Much of the internal decor dates back to 19th-century restorations, but there are also a few older pieces. Survey the church’s medieval frescoes. These feature the life of a medieval mining town as well as religious themes. Look at the stained-glass windows, some of which depict medieval mining techniques and ore trading. There are also statues of miners as well as those of biblical figures adorning the church.

Lift your gaze up to the magnificent ceiling, which is decorated with miners’ coats of arms. Check out the main altar, behind which is a magnificent wooden relief of the Last Supper. Go to the rear of the church where you’ll see the organ pipes topped by figures of angels playing musical instruments.

The Church of St. Barbara is a 10-minute walk from Palackeho Square and the city centre. The church is open daily, although hours vary by season. An admission fee is charged, but there are discounts for children, students and retirees. While you are here, take advantage of the church’s position on top of a hill and admire the magnificent views of the city and surrounding countryside.

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,003 reviews)

The location was the best part of the stay (apart from the breakfast); right in the heart of Old Town and walking distance to everything. Our Uber had to drop us off a very short distance away necessitating us to lug our luggage for 40 secs or so. Not a big deal! Removed 1 star because of a check-in snafu. The room given had 2 single beds (for a couple) because the hotel was fully booked and despite we making the reservations 3 months in advance. The room felt like a converted attic with the beds perpendicular to each other. There wasn't enough space to join them or bring them together. The shower was whole another issue with the showerhead so low that anyone above 5ft7in wouldn't be able to use it properly. We stayed for 2 nights but kept feeling the hotel stiffed us on the room with no compensation / the day manager not even bothering to come and talk to us. The breakfast spread was good and sitting in the room facing the Astronomical Clock Tower was a treat in itself. Would have rated this 7/5 given the history of the building, amenities, location if not for the room issue. Expedia Support was on point and worked with me quickly but they also couldn't do anything.
