Only a few kilometers from Prague is one of the most beautiful villages in Bohemia: Kutna Hora. Village steeped in history, it is a place not to be missed. The second largest city in Bohemia in the Middle Ages, Kutna Hora rose to fame thanks to its silver mines. Particularly well preserved, the ancient center of Kutna Hora is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A marvel not to be missed.
Monuments to a prestigious past
The Middle Ages marked the golden age of this mining city and its remarkable monuments all keep a trace of this glorious past. The church of St. Barbara, which overlooks the city, pays tribute to the miners who worked in the basements of the city. Its very airy curves, its lace-like vaults and its sumptuous gilding make this church a remarkable place. We advise you to visit the old silver mines of the city for an immersive experience. With your helmet and flashlight, follow the guide through the winding mines. An attraction not to be missed for lovers of exploration and discovery. Not far from the historic center, there is an unusual place: the Sedlec ossuary. This church was "decorated" with the bones of more than 40,000 people who died of the plague. Impossible to miss this strange attraction considered one of the most visited monuments in the Czech Republic. Enough to spend a moment out of time. 
Discovering the ossuary of Kutna Hora will give you access to the Church of the Assumption of Sedlec. Sometimes referred to as a cathedral because of its remarkable size, this church is the oldest in Central Europe.
