Kutna Hora, Storage and Castle Czech Sternberk

Kutna Hora is a wonderful, sweet town, nicknamed the “Precious Box of Czech Land”.

In ancient times, the tiny city of Kutna Hora became famous for its insane deposits of silver, the city, which flourished in the 13th-14th century, positioned itself as the second capital after Prague. We will walk with you around the city, the historical part of which is listed in the world heritage of UNESCO. Enjoy the beauties of St. Barbara’s Cathedral, the Church of St. Jakub, the Museum of Silver, and the central place of Kutnaya Gora – the Vlash (Italian) courtyard, where the famous Prague pennie was minted, which to this day can be purchased as a souvenir.

Another highlight of Kutnaya Gora is the Kostekhraniliche – a Gothic chapel on the territory of the cemetery, decorated with human skulls and bones. The decoration of the chapel took about 40,000 human skeletons.
