Why St Barbara's Church Kutna Hora matters
St Barbara's rises like a stone tent above the hillside, its flying buttresses and spires built by the town's silver wealth. Inside are painted vaults and miners' emblems. The terrace gives a view across the valley.
Talking points
- Its silhouette is unlike most Gothic churches.
- It was funded by the silver mining wealth.
- It is UNESCO-listed with the old town.
