Architecture Tour in Kutna Hora
The architecture of Kutna Hora is a living catalog of design spanning centuries and styles. Structures like Cathedral of St. Barbara and Church of the Assumption in Sedlec tell stories that words alone cannot — the materials, the proportions, the craft behind each facade. Look closer and you'll find surprises like Stone Fountain — the kind of detail that only rewards those on foot.
Kutna Hora's wealth came from silver — in the 14th century, its mines produced one-third of Europe's silver and made the town Bohemia's second city after Prague. The Cathedral of St. Barbara, a masterpiece of late Gothic architecture, was built with mining wealth. The Sedlec Ossuary, decorated with the bones of an estimated 40,000 people, is one of the most unusual chapels in Europe. Both are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
