Description

This beautiful door was spied in Kutna Hora in the Czech Republic while walking to the train station. Kutna Hora is a city in the Central Bohemian Region of Bohemia, located about 60 km from Prague. It is a wonderful and fun day trip from Prague, with more than enough to occupy you for a day. Even getting there is fun, with a funky old spur train that meets the main train and chugs on over to Kutna Hora. Kutna Hora developed as a result of the exploitation of the silver mines. In the 14th century it became a royal city endowed with monuments that symbolized its prosperity. The Church of St Barbara, a jewel of the late Gothic period, and the Cathedral of Our Lady at Sedlec, which was restored in line with the Baroque taste of the early 18th century, were to influence the architecture of central Europe. These masterpieces today form part of a well-preserved medieval urban fabric with some particularly fine private dwellings. In 1995 the city center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
