- St Barbara’s Cathedral - Kutna Hora became extremely rich thanks to the abundance of high-quality silver mined in the town. This allowed the construction of such amazing sacral structures as the gothic cathedral of St.Barbara, the main dominant of Kutna Hora, the biggest cathedral in Central Europe. Richly decorated, devoted to St.Barbara, the patron of miners (and also the victims of a swift death).
- The Cemetery Church of All Saints with the Ossuary - The church was built upon on the ground sprinkled with the holy soil brought in from Jerusalem, therefore the cemetery around it became in high demand. When the capacity ceased to suffice in times of the Plague and the Hussite Wars, a blind monk started arranging bones of 40,000 people into pyramids. Later, when the chapel became a property of the Schwarzenberg noble house, the bones were rearranged into ornaments, coats of arms, chandeliers etc. in order to honor the dead and remind the living of our own mortality.
NOTE: Effective from 2020, taking photos is forbidden.
- Italian Court - Make your own coin and bring it home as a souvenir! The Italian Court served as a mint, Royal Palace and later also as a prison and school (concurrently!). We will also take you to the luxurious audience hall and the richly decorated chapel.
- Cathedral of Assumption of Our Lady and St. John the Baptist - The Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady and Saint John the Baptist may look a somewhat stern compared to the Cathedral of St. Barbara since the Jesuits did not indulge in showing their wealth through rich decorations. Nonetheless, the tall interior designed by the world-famous Santini is stunning its own way. Do not miss the chance to climb up to the upper floor via the amazing spiral stairs!
- Church of Saint James - We will pass by this tall dominant of the town which can be seen well from the terrace in front of the Cathedral of St.Barbara.

Step into the time portal and set off on an adventure to the storied town of Kutna Hora - a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A key source of high-quality silver which was used in approximately 70% of medieval Europe’s coinage. Prepare for chills in the Sedlec Ossuary, adorned with the bones of 40,000 individuals. Wonder at the splendidly ornate St. Barbara’s Cathedral, one of Central Europe’s most impressive cathedrals. Take a memorable snapshot at the photographic Santini’s circular staircase in the firm yet equally remarkable Church of the Assumption of Our Lady or be spellbound by the grandeur of other sacred buildings in this once-renowned town. On the tour of the Italian Court, which transitioned from a mint to a Royal Palace, then a prison, and subsequently a school, you will craft your own keepsake when we demonstrate traditional coin making techniques. The ceremonial hall and the chapel at the Court are set to captivate you!
