Very old church, much devastated inside but reconstruction is going on.
(Translated by Google) The oldest evidence of the existence of the church dates back to 1359. The church was built gradually. The church gained its final shape in the years 1505-1513. The construction of the originally planned two towers lasted from the mid-14th century, but only one of the towers, the southern tower, was completed. 53 m tower of the Gothic church of St. Jakuba began serving tourists as an observation tower on June 1, 2006. One of the attractions of the tower is the clock mechanism from the 18th century. This clock was discovered in the church tower in 1990. Currently, the church has four bells: Jacob, Jan Neumann, Salve and Death Eater. The interior design of the church consists of wonderful wooden Gothic reliefs that decorate the early Baroque main altar. Its center consists of baroque figures of the Virgin Mary, Saint. Dominic and Saint Katarzyna Sienska F. Rambler from the beginning of the 18th century. The pulpit from the 18th century is also interesting. (Original) Najstarsze dowody na istnienie kościoła pochodzą z 1359 roku. Kościół budowano stopniowo. Ostateczny kształt kościół uzyskał w latach 1505-1513. Budowa pierwotnie planowanych dwóch baszt trwała od połowy XIV wieku, ale ukończono tylko jedną z baszt, wieżę południową. 53 m wieża gotyckiego kościoła św. Jakuba zaczęła służyć turystom jako wieża widokowa 1 czerwca 2006 roku. Jedną z atrakcji wieży jest mechanizm zegarowy z XVIII wieku. Zegar ten odkryto w wieży kościoła w 1990 roku. Obecnie kościół ma cztery dzwony : Jakuba, Jana Neumanna, Salve i Śmierciożercy. Na wystrój wnętrza kościoła składają się wspaniała drewniane płaskorzeźby gotyckie, które zdobią wczesnobarokowy ołtarz główny. Jego centrum stanowią barokowe figury Matki Boskiej, św. Dominika i św. Katarzyny Sienskiej F. Ramblera z początku XVIII wieku. Ciekawa jest również ambona z XVIII wieku.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful church after reconstruction. The building is late Gothic, the interior Baroque. In summer, you can enjoy the view of the city from the church tower. (Original) Krásný kostel po rekonstrukci. Stavba pozdně gotická, interiér barokní.V létě je možné využít vyhlídky na město z kostelní věže.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful church. (Original) Nádherný kostelík.
(Translated by Google) An architectural original. The interior is still waiting to be fine-tuned. (Original) Architektonický originál. Interiér ještě čeká na doladění.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful church outside and inside. Bonus that I was all alone inside so I could sing some hymn in my poor voice (Original) Krasny kostel venku i uvnitr. Bonus, ze jsem byl uvnitr uplne sam, a tak jsem si mohl zazpivat nejaky chvalozpev svym ubohym hlasem
(Translated by Google) Characteristic church with a very high facade and simple structure with an even more slender bell tower incorporated for a very particular overall appearance. Bright interior. It stands close to the main square.. (Original) Caratteristica chiesa con una facciata altissima e di semplice struttura con incorporato l'ancor più slanciato campanile per un aspetto complessivo molto particolare. Interno luminoso. Sorge a ridosso della piazza principale..
(Translated by Google) A beautiful church with a very lively Christian community (at least that's how it seemed to us). The service is beautiful. (Original) Krásný kostel s velmi živým křesťanským společsntvím (alespoň tak na nás působilo). Bohoslužba nádherná.

Brilliant. I loved this museum. Best puppets I’ve seen in Czechi - or anywhere in the world actually. Great descriptions friendly staff. Top museum
(Translated by Google) The Puppet and Circus Museum in Prachatice was really magical. You can find it in a historic building right on the square. From the ground floor to the attic, there are exhibitions of puppets, theatre, circus and magic. Some of the elements can be tested. Set aside about two hours, admission folks. (Original) Muzeum loutek a cirkusu v Prachaticích bylo opravdu kouzelné. Najdete ho v historické budově přímo na náměstí. Od přízemí až po půdu jsou umístěny expozice loutek, divadla, cirkusu a kouzel. Část prvků je možno vyzkoušet. Vyhraďte si asi dvě hodiny, vstupné lidové.
(Translated by Google) We discovered the museum by chance during a short visit to Prachatice with our 5- and 9-year-old daughters. But we have to say that the girls really enjoyed it. The staff was helpful and nice, the exhibition was beautiful and the girls had a lot of fun. They consider it the best part of the trip. And in the puppet theater on the ground floor, she immediately performed two plays - one with a foreign audience from Germany. And for me the best Jawa adapted for riding was the bear that appeared in the movie Six Bears with Onion :) (Original) Muzeum jsme při krátké návštěvě Prachatic objevili s dcerami 5 a 9 let úplnou náhodou. Ale musíme říci, že si to děvčata opravdu užila. Personál byl vstřícný a milý, výstava krásná a děvčata velmi bavila. Berou to jako nejlepší část výletu. A v loutkovém divadle, které je v přízemí hned odehrála dvě hry - jednu i se zahraničním publikem z Německa. A pro mě byla nejlepší Jawa upravená pro jízdu medvěda, která se objevila ve filmu Šest medvědů s Cibulkou :)
(Translated by Google) We really liked the museum, really detailed descriptions, wonderful, elaborate puppets. The circus section was also captivating. It was a special pleasure that one of the staff members spoke German. Thank you! (Original) Nagyon tetszett nekünk a múzeum, igazán részletes leirások, csodás, kidolgozott bábfigurák. A cirkuszrészleg is magával ragadó volt. Külön öröm volt, hogy a személyzet egyik tagja beszélt németül. Köszönjük!
(Translated by Google) The museum is nicely done. This is a lot of room and then the kids can play alone with the puppets in the bigger theater. Puppets have a long history, I would like to read more about individual puppets. Like what year they are from, who made them, where they were played everywhere. It's probably not possible for everyone. The museum is designed so that it is not all about looking, but also about trying things out. For example, the magic tricks were pleasing. When you are in Prachatice, park here. (Original) Muzeum je hezky udělané. Jedná se o spoustu místnosti a pak si děti mohou zahrát samy s loutkami ve větším divadle. Loutky mají velkou historii, rada bych si precetla něco více u jednotlivých loutek. Třeba z jakého jsou roku, kdo je dělal, kde se s nimi všude hrálo. Ne u všech je tomu asi možné. Muzeum je uděláno tak, aby nebylo celé jen o koukání, ale taky o vyzkoušení. Třeba kouzelnické triky potěšily. Když budete v Prachaticích, stavte se tu.
(Translated by Google) The museum was surprising, very nicely arranged, combined with interactive elements for children (trying on costumes, playing with puppets on the stage of the puppet theater, and others). I can recommend. (Original) Muzeum překvapilo, moc pěkně naaranžované, spojeno i s interaktivními prvky pro děti (zkoušení kostýmů, hrátky s loutkami na jevišti loutkového divadla, a další). Mohu doporučit.
(Translated by Google) Visiting the Puppet Museum is a really nice experience Definitely not to be missed when visiting the city (Original) Návštěva Muzea loutek je opravdu pěkný zážitek Určitě při návštěvě města nevynechejte
(Translated by Google) We arrived on Monday, and it was closed then. Too bad. We'll have to check. 😀 Walking through the village was also nice to see. (Original) Wij kwamen er op maandag en dan is het dicht. Helaas jammer. Even beter checken. 😀 Door het dorp gewandeld was ook wel mooi om te zien.

(Translated by Google) A museum in a house with a beautiful facade. An ideal place for a museum, history breathes here from everywhere. Dear lady at the entrance. There is an exhibition about the history of Prachatice, currently also about the Indians, and a permanent exhibition about the salt trail, ending in 15 min. by video. (Original) Muzeum v domě s nádhernou fasádou. Ideální místo na muzeum, tady dýchá historie odevšad. Milá paní u vstupu. Je zde výstava o historii Prachatic, momentálně i o indiánech a stálá expozice o solné stezce, zakončené 15 min. videem.
(Translated by Google) Smaller museum but interesting. Dedicated to the golden trail - importing salt in the past, also interactive elements. Interesting is the floor dedicated to the borderlands, the Iron Curtain, displacement of the population and defunct municipalities. In period photographs we can see how big these villages were and that only a few overgrown piles of stones remain. Everyone should pass and not forget what happened and not repeat the same mistakes!!! (Original) Menší muzeum, ale zajímavé. Věnované zlaté stezce - dovozu soli v minulosti, i interaktivní prvky. Zajímavé je patro věnující se pohraničí, železné oponě, odsunu obyvatelstva a zaniklým obcím. Na dobových fotografiích můžeme vidět, jak velké tyto obce byly a že z nich zbylo jen pár zarostlých hromad kamení. Všichni by měli povinně absolvovat a nezapomínat na to, co se dělo a hlavě neopakovat stejné chyby!!!
(Translated by Google) This is one of the most interesting monuments of the city. Since 1904, there has been a museum here, which is really worth visiting. The exhibition is prepared in a modern way, the descriptions are not only in Czech, but also in English and German. There are some interactive elements, especially in the section devoted to the Golden Path. The tour includes several exhibitions. The first exhibition is the Golden Route, where you can learn about the different types of goods transported on the Golden Route, the route from Passau to Prachatice. The second exhibition presents the history of the town of Prachatice from the earliest times to the end of the 20th century. The third, smaller exhibition is dedicated to the most famous resident of Prachatice, Jan Nepomuk Neumann (1811 - 1860). Finally, the last one presents the city's golden age, i.e. the 16th century, when the city experienced great prosperity. (Original) To jeden z najciekawszych zabytków miasta. Od 1904 roku mieści się tutaj muzeum, które naprawdę warto odwiedzić. Ekspozycja jest przygotowana nowocześnie, opisy są nie tylko w języku czeskim, ale i angielskim i niemieckim. Jest trochę elementów interaktywnych, zwłaszcza w części poświęconej Złotemu szlakowi. Zwiedzanie obejmuje kilka wystaw. Pierwsza ekspozycja to Złoty Szlak, podczas której można dowiedzieć się o różnych rodzajach towarów przewożonych na Złotym szlaku, czyli trasie z Pasawy do Prachatic. Druga wystawa przedstawia historię miasta Prachatice od czasów najdawniejszych do końca XX wieku. Trzecia mniejsza ekspozycja poświęcona jest najsłynniejszemu mieszkańcowi Prachatic, Janowi Nepomukowi Neumannowi (1811 - 1860). Wreszcie ostatnia przedstawia złoty wiek miasta, czyli XVI wiek, kiedy miasto przeżywało wielki rozkwit.
(Translated by Google) A wonderful museum, this is a must see! I'm a bit surprised that there is a puppet museum on the websites about the best places in Prachatice and not this one, because the Prachatice museum is the nicest museum I've ever been to. The museum is interactive, comprehensive and underpriced... an ideal combination for tourists and locals, and the staff was very helpful. I wish the museum thousands and tens of thousands more satisfied visitors. (Original) Nádherné muzeum, tohle musíte vidět! Trochu mě zaráží, že je na webech ohledně nejlepších míst v Prachaticích loutkové muzeum a ne tohle, jelikož muzeum Prachatic je nejhezčí muzeum, ve kterém jsem kdy byl. Muzeum je interaktivní, obsáhlé a cenově podceněné... pro turisty a lidé z okolí ideální kombinace, navíc personál byl velmi vstřícný. Přeji muzeu další tisíce a desetitisíce spokojených návštěvníků.
(Translated by Google) We came with the children mainly for the doll exhibition, but the nice cashier convinced us to buy a ticket to all the exhibitions and we certainly do not regret it. The history of the Golden Path intrigued us all, as well as all the wonderful spaces of the museum! (Original) Přijeli jsme s dětmi hlavně na výstavu panenek, ale milá paní pokladní nás přesvědčila k nákupu vstupenky do všech expozic a určitě nelitujeme. Historie Zlaté stezky nás zaujala všechny, stejně tak veškeré nádherné prostory muzea!
(Translated by Google) An excellent museum with a very colorful exhibition! I highly recommend visiting with children. Of course, it would be nice to use a guide, but you can get by with your own knowledge of English/Czech. (Original) Отличный музей с очень красочной экспозицией! Настоятельно рекомендую к посещению с детьми. Конечно, неплохо бы использовать гида, но вполне можно обойтись собственным знанием английского/чешского языка.
(Translated by Google) A lot of music for little money. I definitely recommend a visit to the museum, you will definitely spend an hour here. I left fully charged with new knowledge. I was most interested in the room about Crown Prince Rudolph. (Original) Za málo peněz hodně muziky. Určitě doporučuji návštěvu muzea, hodinku zde strávíte určitě. Odcházel jsem plně nabitý novými poznatky. Nejvíce mě zaujala místnost o korunním princi Rudolfu.
(Translated by Google) It's worth going through all the little exhibits. Very informative and nicely presented. For the next time, I would choose a different graphic guide for the boards with text. (Original) Stojí za to si projít všechny malé expozice. Moc poučné a hezky ztvárněné. Pro příště bych vybrala jiné grafické vedení tabulí s textem.
