Topped by a green dome and dominating the Old Town panorama, St. Nicholas Church is an impossible-to-overlook Baroque church of exceeding beauty. This masterpiece is the work of three architects: Kryštof and Kilián Ignác Dietzenhofer and Anselmo Lurago (1703-1756). Inside you will be struck by the spectacular ornamentation throughout, most notably Jan Lukáš Kracker’s magnificent ceiling frescoes depicting the life of St. Nicholas. Spanning a space of 1500m², they are among the largest in Europe. In addition, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart played and composed upon the very organ that remains in this church to this day.
Fortunately for the public, classical music is still played in this incredible venue at concerts for anyone to enjoy.
