Kutna Hora

In 1142, Kutna Hora became the first Bohemian monastery. In the 12th century, the town's mountains were discovered to have a substantial silver resource, and it began to develop and thrive.

When much of this boom occurred, the town was under German rule, and it resulted in a number of impressive Gothic structures. The five-naved Cathedral, St Barbaras Church, is on the list of must-see attractions.

Also included are the former royal home and mint, now known as the Italian Court, the Stone Haus, the Ossuary (bone house), and two more exquisite Gothic churches. There are few places in the world with as many intact Gothic architecture structures going back to the 1300s as Kutna Hora.
