The Church of Santa Barbara | Some say that the best building in Europe is the church, which has proved to be true. The church not only carries the glory of European architecture, but also the epitome of religion, history and culture. In Kutnahora, the Church of Santa Barbara and the Assumption Church of the Virgin are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, unlike the human remains of the Assumption Church of the Virgin, which is as scary as the afternoon sun. Warm the hearts of every worshiper. Kutnahora was a city that once flourished due to silver mines, and Santa Barbara Church was built here in 1388, which experienced the Huss War, and was forced to end because the silver mines were exhausted, and the repairs stopped, and the vicissitudes were not completed until the early twentieth century. The Gothic building, once a symbol of the rights and status of the City of Silver, is recognized as the world's most spectacular church in the Czech Republic as a dazzling pearl, alongside the Cathedral of St. Vit in Prague's old castle. Detailed address: Barborská, 284 01 Kutn Hora, Czech Republic Transportation strategy: Take the train from Prague Railway Station R9 or R41 to Kutná Hora hl.n., then transfer to S28 to Kutná Hora msto, walk 1.5 kilometers to the church after leaving the station, the total time is 1.5 hours. But this way is time-consuming and laborious. The best way is to participate in a half-day group in addition to self-driving. The itinerary includes the Ascension Church of Our Lady and the Church of Santa Barbara. It starts at noon and returns to the city in the evening. The price is about RMB 320/person. There is a special car transfer and tour guide explanation. Opening hours: 10:00-17:00 Tell you the unknown side of Santa Barbara Church: The objects in the church are all treasured for a hundred years, not to mention the sculpture of the Virgin Mary built in the 14th century, the altar in the 15th century, the crucifixion painting in the 16th century, the confessional in the 17th century, the organ in the 18th century, Even the church windows are not simply made of glass mosaics, but 19th century oil paintings on glass, each worth a lot, precious. In the 16th century, workers in Kutnahora mining had to work10-14 hours a day, six days a week, and they had to slide to the 500 meters underground. At that time, the depth of the work layer was the first in the world, and the danger was self-evident. So the Santa Barbara Church was a holy place for workers to pray. Also their patron saint. Outside the church, there is a small shop selling cakes and red wine. Imagine walking exhausted in the cold wind, suddenly eating hot strawberry pancakes, drinking a warm stomach red wine, it is a big joy in life.

    Autumn in Europe, really cold and uncertain, when entering the coffee shop, or rainy, difficult to stop the gray sky. After drinking coffee and going out, I have already seen the sun. I can't be more surprised. The first stop in the afternoon is the Santa Barbara Cathedral in Kutnahora. It is said that it is another famous unfinished church, and as for the first famous, there is no doubt that Barcelona is still trying to build the illegal Sagrada Familia, and here, the first stoppage, is said to be nearly a hundred years. The second shutdown of the geese was more powerful 500 years + although around 1905, Santa Barbara Cathedral finally announced the completion of the main body. But to the point, there is really only the main body, visible to the naked eye, so far there are still some small details that have not been completely completed... However, the delay is the delay, the church itself is still very high value: the unique Bohemian + Gothic mix style, there is a huge mesh roof beam inside, There are beautiful rose windows, and the 27 minarets on both sides of the exterior are full of design. And, not many tourists, it also makes the whole trip leisurely and comfortable.

    The cathedral in the town is a place where silver miners worship. The feature is the decorative rib pillar on the top of the church, and the church charges are not in. The church can overlook the panoramic view of the town, the scenery is good, and the center of the town is just along the church.

    This is the most worthwhile place to visit in Kutnahora, the church is preserved with complete murals and fine glass paintings, some of which are very realistic records of the city's history of mining silver, and Santa Barbara is the protector of their mining workers.

    The Czech Republic, a ancient Central European bohemian territory, still retains the historical traces of the cultural veins passed down from generation to generation, and the church building is one of them. Because Kutnajo's wealth depends entirely on silver, Santa Barbara is the patron saint of miners, so call this church Santa Barbara Church, with its very charming appearance, the spiky Gothic architecture against the blue sky and white clouds. The church was built in 1388 and was a fateful one as the silver resources were depleted, and it was completed in 1905. The interior retains complete murals and exquisite glass paintings, some of which record the history of the city's silver mining. The green lawn around the church is also very beautiful.

    A church with a very unique structure: three blue tops, two rows of flying coupons running through the front and back, huge window panes. Like other churches in Kutnahora, tickets are required, but personally think it is worth it. There are two floors inside, and the second-floor platform is piled with many exhibits, unlike the usual museums, which will be placed on shelves or glass cabinets, but on the ground at will, which is rough. The church is located on the edge of the city and the surrounding environment is very quiet.

    The church was formed to protect the local miners, so many elements related to the theme can be seen inside. The church's second floor corridor also shows the history of the church, which has been gradually built from the beginning to become what it is today.

    From the town of Kutnahora to the Cathedral of Santa Barbara, from afar on the hillside to the towering leap in front of you, the tall and spectacular Cathedral of Santa Barbara is one of the famous Gothic churches in Central Europe and one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Very intimate at the entrance can receive a Chinese introduction, whether it is the history of the church, architectural features, glass painting or holy image story, you can follow the tour to watch carefully, it is recommended to buy a joint ticket ㄧ and visit the Church of the Human Bone and the Assumption of the Virgin.
