Saint Barbara church - Organ Loft and Stained glass in the church
Saint Barbara church - Organ Loft and Stained glass in the church. Saint Barbara Church in Kutna Hora is one of the most famous Gothic churches in central Europe and it is a UNESCO world heritage site. St Barbara is the patron saint of miners (among others), which was highly appropriate for a town whose wealth was based entirely upon its silver mines. Construction began in 1388.The first architect was probably Johann Parler, son of Peter Parler, but studies say that Peter Parler had participated at least as a co-author of the draft design. Work on the building was interrupted for more than 60 years during the Hussite Wars and when work resumed in 1482, Matej Rejsek and Benedikt Rejt, two architects from Prague, assumed responsibility.
