Church of St´Nicholas at Lesser Town Square

Church of St´Nicholas at Lesser Town Square (Little Quarter Square) - just 3 min walk from Golden Horse.

Building began in 1703, and the last touches were put to the glorious frescoed nave in 1761. It is the acknowledged masterpiece of father - and son architects Christoph and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer, Prague´s greatest exponents of High Baroque. The statues, frescoes and paintings inside of the church are by leading artists of the day, and include the fine Crucifixion of 1646 by Karel Škréta.
