The Church of St. Vitus is a stunning Gothic structure, boasting three naves and a rich history that dates back to 1407-1439. It's fascinating to note that it was built on the foundations of an even older building from 1309. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the church underwent significant expansions and renovations, adding layers of history to its already impressive stature. The Gothic entrance portal, with its intricate details, has been welcoming visitors since 1410.
Nestled in the heart of Český Krumlov, this church is a must-see for anyone interested in architecture and history. Its towering spires and stained-glass windows are not just visually captivating but also tell stories of centuries past. The interior is equally enchanting, with vaulted ceilings and a serene atmosphere that invites quiet reflection. Whether you're a history buff or simply love discovering new places, the Church of St. Vitus offers a glimpse into the medieval spirit of this charming town.
