Kutná Hora: Coiners of Medieval Europe

0.0(0)PragueFree cancellation

About this activity

Just one hour’s drive from Prague, this Kutna Hora day tour acquaints you with a charming medieval town inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage Fund, full of picturesque monuments and sites that take you back to another age. From the 1300s, the mines in Kutná Hora contributed an entire third of the European production of silver, spurring the economic dominance of the Bohemian Kingdom. The silver “Prague groschen” was a hard currency throughout Central Europe for several centuries. Naturally, the wealth of Kutná Hora prompted the town to express its importance by commissioning soaring medieval cathedrals, elegant town squares, and townhouses that we can still enjoy today. With your historian guide, you will also visit nearby Sedlec, to experience the uncanny and fantastic Baroque Bone Chapel or Ossuary decorated with the skeletons of 60,000 victims of the plagues and Hussite Wars.

    4. Kutná Hora

      The Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady at Sedlec, a part of the former Cistercian monastery, is equally worth the attention of any architecture lover in addition to the historical city center. It is the biggest and the most challenging cathedral in the Bohemian lands from the late 1200s showing the might of the politically active abbots (the heads of monasteries).
