Kutna Hora Attractions

|
The town of Kutna Hora is a welcome diversion from Prague. It is a living, working city with no pretensions and it has much to offer visitors. Some of the main attractions are an old silver mine, spectacular architecture, and the appropriately named Bone Church.
Kutna Hora has a rich past. Up until 1700, the town contained Europe's largest silver mine and was responsible for minting much of the European coinage. The city became a royal city in 14th Century and with this wealth came extravagant building projects and monuments.
St Barbara's Cathedral is a fine example of what wealth can create.
