On today's Сzech Republic 4k walk, we will go on a trip to the city Kutná Hora, which is 55 km from Prague to the east. This is a stunning city with a unique atmosphere!
Kutná Hora is a town of approximately 20,000 people in the Central Bohemia region. Thanks to silver mining, it was one of the most important Czech royal cities in the Middle Ages. Today, tourists visit it, and its essential urban conservation area is listed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List. The dominant feature of the city and, at the same time, its most visited historical monument is the late Gothic jewel - the Church of St. Barbary, which is invoked as a helper in times of need, an intercessor for a good death, and the patroness of all those in dangerous occupations, especially miners.
This magnificent building testifies to the glory and wealth of the silver Kutná Hora and its creators' deep piety. Its monumentality will literally take your breath away. We recommend visiting it during the service or ordering a summer night tour, which will show you the temple after dark, shrouded in a mysterious cloak.
Near the church, you will find, for example, the Corpus Christi Chapel with an ossuary or another important monument, namely the Jesuit College, which houses the Gallery of the Central Bohemian Region (GASK). Its collection and exhibition program focuses on the fine arts of the 20th and 21st centuries. But its adjacent gardens are also stunning, offering a zone of peace and relaxation, complete with soothing water features. They are perfect for the perfect relaxation of body and spirit. However, the children will not be bored either, to whom an entire gallery floor is dedicated to visual playrooms and the possibility of creating their own pictures. Little artists can thus fully express their creativity.
In the city, you will also find many lesser-known but exciting places and impressive buildings that should not escape your attention.
The earliest traces of silver were found there in10th century. Silver dinars were discovered between 982 and 995 in settlement of Malín, which is now a part of Kutná Hora. The town began in 1142 with the territory of Sedlec Abbey, the first Cistercian monastery in Bohemia. The Cistercian order based in the Sedlec Monastery was brought from the Imperial immediate Cistercian Waldsassen Abbey in Bavaria, Germany, close to the border with the Czech Republic. By 1260, German miners began to mine for silver in the mountain region, which they named Kuttenberg and part of the monastery property. The mountain's name is derived from the monks' cowls (the Kutten) or the word mining (kutání in old Czech).
