Kutná Hora - Introduction

The royal upper town, inseparably linked with silver mining, the treasury of Czech kings, boasts two cathedrals, and in the past was the second city after Prague. Kutná Hora was entered in the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List in 1995, and was the historical town of the Czech Republic of 1999. To this day the town draws large numbers of visitors thanks to its architectural jewels, but also offers cultural events, sporting activities and entertainment.

Historical downtown, Church of St. Barbora, Cathedral of Our Lady at Sedlec

Ever since the end of the 13th century the history of Kutná Hora has been inseparably linked to the mining of silver ore. The historical centre is an architectural jewel of European importance, and the late gothic Church of St. Barbora and the Cathedral of Our Lady in Sedlec, rebuilt in the baroque gothic style, create a notional entrance gateway to the royal mining city.
