Kutna Hora

2012-09

In the heart of Kutná Hora lies a story that feels equal parts fairy tale and gothic legend—a town that once rivaled Prague in wealth thanks to its rich silver mines, shaping the fortunes of medieval Europe. Today, its crown jewel, the breathtaking St. Barbara’s Church, rises like a stone symphony of spires dedicated to the miners who made the city thrive. Just beyond, the hauntingly unforgettable Sedlec Ossuary—a chapel adorned with the bones of over 40,000 people—offers a striking reminder of life’s fragility. Walking through Kutná Hora feels like stepping into a place where beauty, history, and mystery intertwine at every corner.
