Interesting and unsettling historic site. The information and videos about the restoration work makes you appreciate the dedication and craftsmanship of the people involved in creating the Ossuary and now ensuring the site is kept safe is really impressive.
Very interesting church. It is one of a kind. It was much smaller than I expected. Definitely worth the visit. My only disappointment is that it’s so unique but you can’t take a picture of yourself inside. Granted there are few people who do not show respect when taking a pic, the remainder of the folks have to suffer for other’s bad decisions. this place is good for a quick stop.
An absolutely fascinating and hauntingly beautiful place to visit. The Sedlec Ossuary is unlike anything else — both eerie and awe-inspiring at the same time. The artistry and respect shown in how the bones are arranged is incredible; it really makes you reflect on history, mortality, and craftsmanship all at once. I visited on a weekday and had almost no wait to get in, which made the experience even better. The site is well-preserved, informative, and surprisingly peaceful. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re anywhere near Kutná Hora — it’s a quick trip from Prague and completely worth it. Buying tickets in advance isn’t necessary if you go early in the day, but it can’t hurt during busy seasons.
Came to Kutna Hora being a fan of KCD 2, and had to stop by this famous spot. I think my girlfriend thought I was a bit off for wanting to go to a church, but she ended up loving it just as much as me! Also don't be a doofus, pay attention and NO PHOTOGRAPHY OR VIDEOS!! There's a visitor's center just a short walk down the street where you buy tickets, or you can do so online ahead of time. Gift shop was cool, had some KCD related items as well
Amazing experience really, it’s currently under renovations but you can go inside and see everything no problem, I actually liked I got to see the experts working on the renovations also. You can’t take photograph’s but I promise it’s so worth it. This are some fotos of the outside. O recommend buying tickets before hand.
Gorgeous but small ossuary. I'd give it five stars if it was allowed to tak pictures. I'd just like to have memory of my visit, respectfully.
Unfriendly staff. There is no ticket office at the location. There is no explanation of the history of the place. High price. Half of the place is well kept, the other half is ”ongoing”. Place serves it purpose: you get the immediate vibes of looking at real bones of thousands of people. You have to be into it to enjoy the experience. I didn’t. Would not recommend.
A small but very unique church. No need to spend more than 15 min inside inside. No photography is allowed inside. Tickets needed and can be purchased online with timing of your visit to be indicated.

Spectacular, cathedral-esque church decorated with sharp spines, flying buttresses & frescoes.
Slide 1 of 8
Stepped into St Barbara’s on a bright morning and was immediately floored by that soaring Gothic nave—ribbed vaults twisting overhead like frozen webs. Sunlight streamed through vibrant stained glass, casting kaleidoscopic patterns onto centuries-old stone. Knowing it took over 500 years to complete—and that it was built by miners to rival Prague—makes every gargoyle, flying buttress, and delicate fresco feel like a statement of pride. Climbing up to peek at the exterior ribs and slender buttresses from inside was an unexpected highlight—architecture turned up close
Massive Gothic cathedral that serves as the main draw for this town. Beautiful interiors complement the towering external structure. Also featured intricate stained glass. There's a free audio/text guide that provided good context to the visit.
A beautiful church that rivals St Vitus Cathedral in Prague. We spent an hour+ here doing the audio guide on our phones. The audio guide was very informative and easy to use. The exterior of the church is gorgeous, it's hard to choose between St Barbara's or St Vitus in Prague Castle. The interior of the church is also very interesting and beautiful. It was lovely to see so many regences to the town's mining history.
The entire complex of which the cathedral is a part is immense, extraordinarily beautiful, and the cathedral itself is huge, a construction that is no longer made nowadays. When you go up to the cathedral, you are enveloped by a feeling of well-being and happiness. You can buy a ticket just for the cathedral or another one that includes the ossuary from Sedlec , but the ossuary is just for advertising, it's not worth visiting, it's in another town, not far away.
Very impressive cathedral- worth a visit. The audio guide was a bit boring, but maybe that’s just me! It’s very cool to go upstairs and walk around in the loft above the arched ceilings below!
Unbelievable! 10/10 must see! I've sen many pictures of this amazing Gothic church before coming here, but this is one of those places you simply have to experience. It doesn't even seem real. The detail of the masonry on both the exterior and interior are nothing short of stunnung. Stepping inside, was the most ornate and beautifully decorated church I've ever seen. From the masonry, to the carved statues painted and guilded in gold, simply stunning. And to think that construction started over 600 years ago is mind bending! Kuta Hora started as a simple monestary, until one of the monks found silver, and it quickly became one of the largest and wealthiest mines in Europe. At one point in time it was estimated that 30% of the silver that existed in Europe came from Kutna Hora, making it one of the wealthiest cities in all of Europe. With all that wealth came the funding to construct the fantastical. The Works started in 1388 and continued until 1588. Sadly, during the 200 years of construction, the mines began to run out of silver, and with it, the funds to continue construction. You will notice a seemingly plain and flat elevation on the north wall, a departure from the wildly complicated structure, leaving you impressed, but longing for the full vision to have been seen through. Tickets to enter are cheap, and beyond worth it.
A truly unique church/cathedral with the way it’s been built in separate parts over the last 600 years. For kingdom come deliverance fans it’s a must, I even bought a silver Groschen from the gift shop!
Very beautiful church on amazing grounds. It compares to St-Vitus church in Prague. All the sculptures presented in the alley getting to the church reminded me of Charles Bridge. Beautiful. The church itself is very well preserved, though it was weirdly "missing" some stained glass windows at some places (I doubt that it was initially built with crystal clear windows, but I might be wrong). Informative display collection and presentation of historical facts upstairs, near the organ. The views of Kutna Hora from the church's site are splendid.

Small museum to silver mining, featuring an underground mine & local mining history exhibits.
Slide 1 of 8
There’s two parts to this museum, part 1 is the exhibition and part 2 is the guided tour into the mine. You can choose to just go for one of them, or both. The tour was an amazing experiencing going into a real mine. I appreciate that they are concerned of our safety and pre-warned everyone about the enclosed environment we will be in. There’s two guides in the tour, one leading us and one following us at the back to ensure our safety. There is even a small fake mine to test our claustrophobia before we go in to the real mine. In the middle of the mine, our tour guide even simulated the conditions that the miners mined in. They were very knowledgeable and shared the history of Kutna Hora, the process of mining silver and even the lives of the miners. One tip is to join the tour with lesser people, because the mine is really small and cramped. The tour group can go up to 25 people but our small group of 7 people seemed perfect. There are Czech and English tours, but they also provided a file with translated version of the tour if you require. You can also buy a plain coin from the counter and mint your own coin using a hammer.
Museum of Silver in Kutha Hora is hidden gem of the city of Kutna Hora. It combines an exhibition of silver mining history in the region, with lots of very interesting information AND most importantly it also includes guided tour in the original silver mi e from 14th century. You walk through very narrow corridors 30 meters under the ground, you literally feel like traveling back in time. Absolutely amazing!!!
We did the silver museum mine tour which was wonderful. Our guide was very knowledgeable and conducting her first tour in English and she was very good! The tour was fascinating and covered the history, the process of mining, the tools and of course a visit down the mine itself. Book the tour ahead of time as places are limited. I would consider this a must if visiting Kutna Hora. Loved it.
Definitely high light of the day in Kutna Hora. Found this tour available in the afternoon and didn’t expect much, but it literally made our day. Great experience go under the silver mine, tour guide speaks very clearly. (We did the salt mine tour 4 days ago in Krakow, and this one is much better than that) Smaller group tour walking in the narrow tunnels, fun and educational experience.
I didn't know what to expect from this tour, but wow did I enjoy this one. Ondrej who was our guide did a great job explaining the mines and how they made coins. Don't miss this.
Fantastic tour of a recently rediscovered mine shaft from the middle ages, the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the towns history regarding silver mining and coin making throughout the Holy Roman Empire.
probably the best museum experience in my life. we got in tour with a very sweet english-speaking lady, who very passionately answered all of our questions and showed us the mines underneath Kutna Hora. we were a small group of 3 and we had plenty of space to crawl around. the upper building of Hradek is another museum exhibition about history of Kutna Hora and its silver mines, which is also very interesting to learn. must visit if you are in this sweet town. two combined tickets cost us 540czk, which is very cheap for this kind of experience
Went to the museum and participated in the "The Way of Silver"-tour. It was a really unique experience I'd never could've imagined. I really have no words to describe how amazing it was, a strong recommendation for the tour if you are going to Kutná Hora. Unless you have a fear of cramped spaces, there are quite tight spots, but that's just part of the charm. Wholehearted thanks to our amazing guides!

This is the first attraction in Kutná Hora as you come from the train station. NOTE you buy your tickets either online or from the info kiosk. You cannot buy tickets at the churches.
The only town in the Czech Republic with 2 Cathedrals!!! This is one of them, and the other is located in the Town Center. The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady and Saint John the Baptist (Czech: Kostel Nanebevzetí Panny Marie a svatého Jana Křtitele) is a Gothic and Baroque Gothic church north-east of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic and is listed in the UNESCO World Heritage List together with the Church of St. Barbara and other monuments in Kutná Hora. It is one of the most important Czech Gothic buildings built in the time of the last Přemyslids and also a very important and one of the oldest examples of the Baroque Gothic style (connected with the Czech Baroque architect Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel).
Gorgeous cathedral thats worth dropping into if in the area. Close to the bone church and included in the ticket price for that, the building is worth a visit, even if just to appreciate the architecture.
Though outside it doesn’t look appealing no doubt should visit this baroque style building and its a unesco site
You can buy a packaged tickets including the Bone chapel and St Babara’s
Don't go now! Half of the church is under construction, iron reconstruction stairs ruin any silence, the beautiful Santini stairs totally covered by cloth. Despite that, no deduction of entrance fee. A beautiful place that I have visited several times before, but not worth visiting in summer 2025.
Probably the least interesting cathedral you'll ever see. It's mildly interesting to go to the upper galleries and above the arches but there's nothing to see and nothing labeled. This place is bundled with the ossuary ticket.
Sedlec is currently a part of Kutná Hora. In 1142 twelve Christian monks, invited by the nobleman Miroslav of Markvartice, came here. The monks were supposed to build a monastery here, which became the first and oldest monastery of this order in the Czech Republic. + pretty architecture and art + interesting view on the construction of the ceiling through the attic + art collections all over the church and attic

An amazing fountain, right in the heart of the city. It felt almost magical to find something so special in such an unexpected spot. I kept wondering where the water came from, over and over again.
Beautiful historical fountain. But in the city center? I wonder where the water from. By the way there’s a blacksmith just 200 yards away. Better sneak here back midnight.
A fountain?? I'm the middle of the city? Where can the water be coming from? 🤣 IYKYK I'll say, if you've played KCD 2 you'll really feel like you can recognize this spot.
I was surprised that there was water there. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from.
Incredible fountain, here in the middle of the city, although I’m still unsure where the water came from…
The fountain looks great and is worth visiting if you are in the area, but it's a shame it's surrounded by cars and parking spaces. It would be a nice centerpiece in a public square or a small park.
Drink the Gothic fountain water and taste the lovely essence of this historical masterpiece. Fine Gothic architecture in the midst of so many other historical landmarks in the bustling center of Kutna Hora, this piece caught my attention and prompted a nice sit and appreciate moment.
Alas, the fountain doesn't seem to work. There is no longer any water here, in the heart of the city.

We visited it yesterday. The place is full of medieval history and well preserved. You can reserve a guided tour online and enjoy the experience of create your own groschen (Prague's coin). Many thanks to our guide Alex and Aneshka (sorry if I write the name wrong) who helped us doing our groschen. We hope to come back during summer season to enjoy the city . With love, Virginia and Facundo, two Argentinians living in The Netherlands
Jesus Christ be praised, buy a ticket in advance because we missed the ticket office door and ended up sneaking through the entire tour for free until they caught us at the coin minting exhibit. An easy speech check allowed us to buy a ticket and resume the tour however.
The tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging and getting to mint my own coin was a unique and memorable experience. Something did yank my pizzle during my visit there... in the main courtyard there was a fountain. In the middle of a city? Where does the water come from?
The guy at the reception is the best tour guide ever. I sadly missed the English tour but had to follow the Czech language one. He explained some key points separately after the speech in English. And patiently answered all my questions with great range of knowledge. Just so helpful and charming. Besides there is a rather friendly one-eyed black cat wandering in their yard. If that wasn’t a right eye I’d take her as a symbol of Jan Žižka. There’s a lovely cat nest in the corridor and judging by her hair condition I can say she’s been taken good care of. Pet her! Such a lovely place to visit in anyways. But besides all of these, I FEEL QUITE HUNGRY!!!!!
A ticket without a guide gets you almost nothing. The views from the garden are stunning though, but they don't require a ticket. Going with the guide apparently gets you to see the hall and more stuff inside.
We went there in Kutna Hora. Beautiful views and a park.
Amazing place to see. From the outside. We dident go in. And close to “the picture” we walked there after. Amazing Amazing
They didn't explain at the reception what is the difference between entry tickets. So they just asked " Do you want with guide or without?" Since it was the last entry time, and the tour left was in Czech, we took without guide option. Apparently it was only the entry to the silver mining museum, which is tiny and took 10 mins to walk through and see everything. We wanted to see the royal palace, but the guide locked the door lol.

Little museum that offers a glimpse into the long history of this peculiar house. As a bonus, we did the mini KCD II escape game, which was a lot of fun. Highly recommended.
Horrible experience, listed as a silver museum but nothing remotely related to silver. Also when going up the first floor we were followed by a “guide” who was watching our every step which made us feel like they thought we were criminals. In 10 minutes you can see the entire exposition…
This was a lovely surprise. The stone house looks interesting enough from the outside and encouraged our interest. There were several displays of stone, glass and historical artefacts within the entrance hall. The literature issued was informative and interesting as we followed the tour around the house. LOOK out for the painting in the main hall upstairs....photo is underneath of a famous visiting king!
Stopped by when we got in town, neat place to see some of the history of Kutná Hora!
Honestly, I felt it wasn't worth my time, for the visit which had to be guided but where the guide didn't speak English (ok, fair) and basically followed me (I was there only person) through the few rooms while I read and English pamphlet. Why did I even have to wait for a tour? The displays were meh... The main silver museum 5mn away was much more interesting.
It is, without any doubt, one of the most beautiful buildings I have seen in Czech Republic.
Let me put it that way - if you are deep into that kind of stuff you will like it, if not better go elsewhere. If you plan to visit this place make sure to check it out on a guided tour, otherwise it is not worth it.

Total surprise... amazing exhibitions, perfectly curated and smartly narrated. And in the beautiful interiors of an old convent. What a blast
The inside of this gallery is super beautiful to watch, with a minimalist vibe in the corridors. Some rooms are super detailed on the roofs so I suggest you to have a walk around. There's also a bar in the inside where you can sit and enjoy some peaceful time. There are many entrances and it's located next to the main church. Take a look at the pictures so you can have an idea about the place. Enjoy it ;)
This is a remarkably good art museum for a small city like Kutna Hora. It's campus is next to the famous cathedral. I spent 15 min in the cathedral and more than 3 hours in the art museum, including some time in the garden and the coffee shop. The artwork in the permanent exhibit is arranged by themes, such as hope, friendship, freedom, mind, and many more. The pieces of art on a given theme are accompanied by interesting quotes on the specific theme, quotes by prominent Czech and world thinkers. Thus, the exhibit is bi-modal, paintings and text. I think this gallery alone would justify a visit to Kutna Hora. An old town stroll would be a nice complement to the gallery visit.
Gallery of modern art in the centre of old town Kutna Hora. Great place for adults, art-lovers and for kids as well. They have nice indoor playrooms. And veri nice Cafe. Something for everyone.;-)
Wonderful and big gallery with contemporary czech artists and temporary art exhibitions. In the building is great cofeterian and children playground. Also cute bookstore.
I think I spent way too much time here, because it was so good. I came here because of a temporary installation of art pieces by Válovy sisters, but I've looked through the entire gallery and i very much enjoyed it. It was wonderfully curated, art pieces were divided by themes and complimented by thought-provoking quotes. Also, if you come here, don't forget to stay at the local café, as it's also very good and helps you refresh yourself after hours of looking at art.
The park is great and offers nice view of the church nearby. We also got married here so it’s a great wedding spot. The staff was very friendly about the organisation.
Amazing gallery!!! One of the best I've ever visited. There is a cafe inside. WC. Good staff

It is a definitely a small museum but the owner is making a short tour of the exhibition. He made us dark hot chocolate 🍫 and have us to taste us much chocolates us we like. For sure a must seen.
Absolutely lovely owner who helped us find the right chocolate for ourselves and gifts for friends. They have a great selection of vegan chocolate as well, the obvious dark chocolates, but even some vegan white and vegan milk chocolate. He even prepared us some vegan hot chocolate which tasted delicious. Highly recommended!
Really fun experience! The tour was pretty cool and informative. The staff was really kind and eager for you to sample their chocolates so you find your perfect pick! If you’re looking for authentic here it is! This was also where I first tried hot chocolate with Griotka, it was the best thing ever. I highly suggest you try!
The lady who served us was lovely and very knowledgeable. We did the tour/history of chocolate in Kutna Hora which was very interesting. We also had tasters of lots of different chocolates before deciding which ones to buy. All of the tasters were great. We bought 3 bars for ourselves and 1 to gift (Ginger and orange dark chocolate, Dark chocolate and raspberry, white chocolate and raspberry and plain 70% dark chocolate). We also had the hot chocolate which was really nice. I had the plain and my partner had the ginger one. I would definitely recommend this shop and the tour/history of you're in the area.
The smallest chocolate museum in the world? ;) -> Free of entrance, interesting history of the local chocolate factory, helpful hosts. At the end we bought several delicious chocolate bars as souvenirs, of course. Highly recommended!
Small but cosy chocolateria shop with a museum-like display of history of a famous local brand. Wide selection of chockies, bit pricey but delicious. The museum part is free, guide included. The shopkeeper was very pleasant & helpful and you can ask anything choco-related. Just wish there were more tables to sit at.
This is a great little museum and chocolate shop. The museum only consists of 1 small room with memorobilia which the shop keeper gives a tour where you among other things learn how Nestle destroyed the chocolate industry in Czech. The tour in itself is free but you are expected to pay in tips. Afterwards you get to taste some of the delicious chocolate they are making and of course we bought some. If you are a fan of chocolate you should go here
Great little shop, with a very nice little chocolate museum in the back. Nice shop owner too, who speaks English and can tell you a lot about the products

Great church! Expect, there was a random guy named Henry there who kept asking me if I had seen his buddy Hans. After that, he bought us a couple of rounds at the local tavern. Overall great experience though!
I attended Mass there to fulfill my Sunday obligation, even as a tourist. I did not understand a single word, but the liturgy was solemn, majestic, and filled with love. The church itself is a symphony of aesthetics — a true feast for the eyes, a place that can rightfully be called the House of God. Ancient, venerable, and breathtakingly beautiful. A dream of a church in the very heartland of Bohemia.
Medieval church with stained glass and beautiful interior. It's free to visit and look around, and it's along a few gorgeous walking paths through the old town!
This is the oldest stone church in the city and located in the center of the old medieval town. Construction started 1330 and was finished 1420. + parking close by + no charge to visit the church + friendly staff + beautiful interior
The beautiful Gothic Church of St. James, with its slender 86 m tall tower, is a defining landmark on the Kutná Hora skyline. It is the oldest church in the town. Its construction began in 1330 and ended in 1420. The church original plans icluded two towers but it turned out that the ground beneath was too unstable due to silver mining to hold two towers. The unfinished part of the second tower is visible on the church exterior. For the unusual height of its tower, the church was also referred to as the Tall or High Church until the 17th century. The interior combines Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture.
A stunning position for this superb medieval church in the centre of Kutna Hora, a UNESCO protected town in central Bohemia.
I finally managed to get in !
80m high, you have to climb.

Manor house

Commanding 19th-century mansion known for its Empire-style design, with a museum & guided tours.
Slide 1 of 8
Beautifully maintained building. We visited during summer,so we can see beautiful flowers and butterflies. The structure has beautiful Empire style looks. Functionally, the castle is divided into three parts. The main (central) building with exquisite halls was the residence of the family, with two quarter circle adjacent lower wings with pillared colonnades where the guest rooms were situated. To those wings were connected other pavilions. In the right one is situated the mansion's chapel and theatre, which were finished in the first half of the 19th century. In the left one, there is an extensive library dating from the 16th to 19th century. The castle is surrounded by a vast park that was founded already in 1789, according to the plan of famous Viennese botanist Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin (1727–1817).
This beautiful castle is actually a large manor and a well kept English garden. The garden is very nice for walking in, it is peaceful and well maintained. The castle itself consists of three parts, we did a guided tour for the library and theater. The tour took an hour, the guide was a retired gentleman who really enjoyed being a guide. We learned a lot, and enjoyed the tour. This time of year is off-season. I can imagine the garden being even more beautiful with blossoming flowers, but I can also imagine lots of people wanting to visit at the same time.
Lovely manor house in the countryside. Beautiful walks around the grounds and very interesting museum inside. Well worth the visit. Coffee and cake in the cafe are a bonus
Great place to visit. Huge park which slowly transfers to the forest. Nice for long walks. Directly on the castle there are permanent visits about county living and some short term seasons activities.
It's a beautiful chateau. luxury for the rich in ancient times You can buy visit tickets. There will be staff to guide you to tour. I'm very impressed.
The museum of agriculture is not bad, but the highlights are the library and the theatre. If you had a chance to matchbyour visit with the ocean air market, concert or theatre, do it. The chateau has also nice arboretum and vineyards!
An 18th-century, neo-classical castle of great artistic and historical value. Its theatre, a real jewel, is fairly well preserved and deserves to be considered a Unesco heritage site.
Very nice place with big park for walks also with kids. There are often new events and various paths through the park and overall the place is continously nicer and nicer :).

This sculpture is so full of carved details, it is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Built in memory of the victims of the plague, it's intricately carved and so well maintained, a stunning piece of history.
Brno’s Plague Column is a beautifully crafted Baroque monument, celebrating deliverance from the plague and honoring protective saints. It adds both historical depth and sculptural beauty to the city’s main square.
The column is supposed to be a reminder of the plague of 1713-1715. I can't read Czech, but I don't see any reference to the plaque on the column at all. It does however look like a typical Marian column with a sculpture of Mary at the apex of the column which has been sculpture to look like clouds and cherubs to look like the assumption of Mary. At the base of the column are four saints, although I could only identify St Sebastian. The monument is well executed and is worth a look when visiting the city.
The column is a sight to see in it's self, but the whole town of Kutna Hora has many wonderful things and places to see.
The Plague Column, also known as the Column of the Virgin Mary Immaculate, is located in Kutná Hora, Šultysova street. It was built in 18th century by Jesuit sculptor František Baugut to commemorate the plague epidemic, in which more than 1,000 people died in Kutná Hora in 1713.  It is protected as cultural heritage.
A must visit sculpture. Really captivating and magnificent
A fountain! Where do they get the water from? Here, in the middle of the city?
What asculpture!!!!! Impressive as a albanian

In before all the "Jesus Christ Be praised" KCD 2 memes. Beautiful place, a landmark castle of the medieval period Bohemia.
When I visited it was a Christmas exhibition, thought I would have been able to see more around the hradek but seems its not possible.
(Translated by Google) My husband and I visited both tours including a visit to the mine. We had a wonderful lady guide. We had a lot of laughs along the way. For those who don't mind cramped spaces, be sure to visit. Be sure to buy tickets in advance. Thank you for a nice experience 👍🏻🙏🏻. (Original) Navštívili jsme s manželem oba okruhy prohlídky i s návštěvou dolu. Měli jsme úžasnou paní průvodkyni. Cestou jsme se i dost nasmáli. Komu nedělají problém stísněné prostory, tak určitě navštivte. Lístky kupte určitě předem. Děkujeme za milý zážitek 👍🏻🙏🏻.
Jesus christ be praised
(Translated by Google) We were only able to do the first tour because there was only one English tour in the afternoon, and we weren't allowed to do the Czech one. The first tour was very mediocre, even though it cost almost nothing. The temporary exhibition isn't translated into English. There were very few seats to sit and read the information. Also, a woman at the museum spoke very rudely. The second tour was probably better. (Original) Nous avons pu faire que le premier tour car qu’un seul tour en anglais l’après midi et nous n’étions pas accepté pour faire celui en tchèque. Le premier tour était très bof même si ça ne coûte quasi rien. L’exposition temporaire n’est pas traduite en anglais. Très peu de siège pour s’assoie et lire les informations. De plus, une femme du musée était très désagréable dans son intonation. Le deuxième tour devait être sûrement mieux.
(Translated by Google) We only completed the second circuit, i.e. a visit to the mine and the mint. Tickets must be booked in advance. I visited the mine about 20 years ago, there have been a number of changes here (new staircase to enter the mine) as well as changes created by nature itself, e.g. walls overgrown with plants. The circuit ends with a visit to the Mint, which is a kind of competitor to the Mint in Vlašský dvůr. This will provide you with more information and experiences. I was surprised that visitors can store personal belongings in a locker, but about 20 people in the same locker, which does not seem to me to be sufficient protection against possible theft. I was negatively impressed by the fact that at the end of the tour, visitors hang their sweaty coats on hangers and other guests use them. I consider this (especially in the current tropical temperatures) to be unhygienic. Nevertheless, I recommend entering the mine. (Original) Absolvovali jsme pouze II.okruh tj. návštěva dolu a mincovny. Vstupenky je třeba rezervovat předem. Důl jsem navštívila cca před 20 lety, došlo zde k řadě změn ( nové schodiště pro vstup do dolu) zároveň změn, které vytváří sama příroda např. stěny obrůstající rostlinkami. Okruh je ukončen návštěvou Mincovny, která je jakýmsi konkurentem Mincovny ve Vlašském dvoře. Tato Vám poskytne více informací i zážitků. Překvapilo mne, že si návštěvníci sice mohou uložit osobní věci do uzamykatelné skříňky, ale cca 20 lidí do téže skříňky, což mi nepřijde jako dostatečná ochrana před případným odcizením. Negativně na mne zapůsobila skutečnost, že v závěru prohlídky návštěvníci propocené pláště pověsí na ramínka a použijí je další hosté. Považuji to ( zejména v současných tropických teplotách) za nehygienické. Přesto vstup do dolu doporučuji.
(Translated by Google) I wanted to come back here after 13 years with my children so that they could also experience the atmosphere in the very small and narrow path in the mine and we succeeded. The guide explained everything to us in detail. The children (puberty) were blown away by the tour, the visit to the mint is also very interesting and informative. It is good to show children how hard they used to work. It was great, thank you (Original) Chtěla jsem se sem vrátit po 13 letech s dětmi,aby to také zažily tu atmosféru ve velmi malé a úzké cestě v dole a podařilo se. Průvodne nam vse do detailu vysvetlil. Děti (pubertaci) byli z prohlídky paf,návštěva mincovny je také velmi zajímavá a poučná. Je dobré dětem ukázat, jak tvrdě se dříve pracovalo. Bylo to super, dekujeme
(Translated by Google) Excellent experience and enjoyment from the tour circuit I. and II. We were guided through the mine by Miss Lucie, whom I want to especially praise, excellent explanation, she was able to answer visitors' questions, she was very nice and funny. Thank you once again. (Original) Výborná zkušenost a zážitek z prohlídkového okruhu I. a II. Dolem nás provedla slečna Lucie, kterou chci speciálně pochválit, výborný výklad, dokázala zodpovědět i dotazy návštěvníků, byla velmi milá i vtipná. Ještě jednou děkujeme.

(Translated by Google) The beautiful house on Palackého náměstí is one of the oldest buildings in Kutná Hora and was built as a tower fortress. Its core was a production facility with a smelter where silver ore was processed and purified. In 1481, the goldsmith Beneš from Trničí bought the house and rebuilt it magnificently. In 1503 he sold the palace to Sankturin from Nedvojovice, a high-ranking member of the Kutnohorsk city council. The house burned down in a large-scale fire in 1770, which also destroyed the town hall, so its restoration falls into the last phase of the Kutnohora Baroque. An unknown builder designed the facades based on the Dientzenhofer Monastery of the Order of St. Voršilas.

(Original) Krásný dům na Palackého náměstí patří mezi nejstarší stavby v Kutné Hoře a vznikl jako věžová pevnost. Jejím jádrem byl výrobní objekt s hutí, kde se zpracovávala a čistila stříbrná ruda. V roce 1481 dům zakoupil zlatník Beneš z Trničí a velkolepě jej přestavěl. V roce 1503 palác prodal Sankturinovi z Nedvojovic, vysoce postavenému členu kutnohorské městské rady. Dům vyhořel při rozsáhlém požáru v roce 1770, kterému podlehla například i radnice, jeho obnova proto spadá do poslední fáze kutnohorského baroka.

With a lovely stuff, in a beautiful house. I think we will found a museum from alchemical history in the city Cutna Hora, but in the museum they have painting from a painter Felix Jenewein . He really likes suffering. That was a little bit sad. But the museum its okay and the bathrooms are clean.
Small place, just 2 small rooms, not interesting
(Translated by Google) A wonderful place that is worth seeing, from the basement, where you can learn about alchemy to the interactive projection on the history of the city, which is really beautifully done, to the frescoes in the chapel in the tower. kind and accommodating. (Original) Nádherné místo, které stojí za zhlédnutí od sklepa ,kde se dozvíte o alchymii přes interaktivní projekci o historii města,která je opravdu nádherně zpracovaná až po fresky v kapli ve věži.V infocentru i průvodkyně (které řeknou co se v jakém patře nachází )velice milé a vstřícné.
(Translated by Google) During my little search for Felix Jenewein's gallery, which is no longer located at the Vlašské Dvor site, as it might appear to an uninitiated visitor to Kutná Hora, since it is there that one cannot fail to notice a large sign referring to the gallery of a local native, I had the opportunity to point my feet upwards to the Sankturinovský house. The friendly and helpful guides there (from Vlašské Dvor) referred me to this house, on Palackého Square. The info center, above which is now the F.J. gallery, which always exhibits works dedicated to the artist's native city by Jenewein's widow starting in the summer. I saw them compared to the entrance fee - which was unprecedentedly low. That fact, which in itself is a pleasant experience these days. Another surprise - but not an unpleasant one - is that you can meditate there in complete privacy, undisturbed by the living. In my opinion, the highlight of the cultural experience is the view of the unique ceiling in the chapel. Sankturinovský dům can therefore be the starting point and the destination of a "tour of local historical buildings" for visitors to Kutná Hora. (Original) Při svém malém pátrání po galerii Felixe Jeneweina, která se již nenachází v místě Vlašského Dvora, jak by se mohlo neznalému návštěvníku Kutné Hory jeviti, jelikož právě tam si nelze nepovšimnouti nápisu velikého, odkazujícího na galerii rodáka zdejšího, jsem měla možnost šlépěje své namířiti vzhůru k domu Sankturinovskému. Průvodci tamní milí a ochotní ( z Vlašského Dvora), odkázali mne právě do domu tohoto, na náměstí Palackého. Info centrum, nad nímž jest nyní galerie F. J. , kterážto vždy létem počínaje díla věnovaná vdovou Jeneweinovou městu umělcovu rodnému, zde vystavuje. Shlédla jsem je oproti vstupnému- nebývale nízkému.Toť skutečnost, jež sama o sobě v dnešní době zážitkem jest příjemným. Dalším překvapením- ne však nemilým jest to, že rozjímati lze tam naprosto v soukromí, živáčkem nerušen. Vrcholem- dle mého úsudku, toho kulturního zážitku, je v kapli pohled na unikaátní strop. Sankturinovský dům tedy může být návštěvníku Kutné Hory místem startu i cíle “tour po historických objektech zdejších”.
(Translated by Google) An absolutely amazing experience. I definitely recommend visiting. Very nice and helpful staff. We will definitely come back. (Original) Naprosto úžasný zážitek. Doporučuji určitě navštívit. Moc milý a ochotný personál. Určitě se ještě vrátíme.
(Translated by Google) Very tastefully arranged. I had already done a review, but let's do it again. For 1.50 euros access to the stone spiral staircase down to the setups. Nicely done, but you have to get used to the dark first. (Original) Heel smaakvol opgesteld. Ik had al een review gedaan, maar vooruit, nog maar eens dan. Voor 1,5o euro een toegang tot de stenen wenteltrap naar beneden naar de opstellingen. Leuk gedaan, je moet wel eerst even aan het donker wennen.
(Translated by Google) The museum is quite new, they have left money and it shows, but it is very boring. Many rooms with paintings that don't stick at all. The alchemy areas with signs with a lot of text, nothing interactive The most spectacular thing is above, a dynamic video with a model of the city. (Original) El museo es bastante nuevo, se han dejado dinero y se nota, pero es muuy aburrido. Muchas salas con pinturas que no pegan nada.
