Day Trip from Prague: Kutna Hora


Pic title: St Barbara, Kutna Hora (Link)

The City of Kutna Hora:

The medieval Bohemian city of Kutná Hora is deserving of its place on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Originally a silver mining town, Kutná Hora is now known for two of its religious sites: Kostnice Ossuary and the Church of Saint Barbara.

Kostnice Ossuary in Kutna Hora:

Built in 1511, the Kostnice Ossuary was erected for the purpose of housing human bones. The building today maintains the bones of about forty thousand people and boasts macabre sights such as a chandelier made from every bone in the human body.

Church of Saint Barbara in Kutna Hora:

The massive Church of Saint Barbara was constructed in the 14th Century by Peter Parler, the designer of Prague's St. Vitus Cathedral. Known for its beautiful spires and flying buttresses, the church is open to the public for visits and should not be missed on a trip to Kutná Hora.
