What To Do

• Sedlac Ossuary
  Also known as the Bone Church, Sedlac Ossuary is a small Roman Catholic church that is elaborately decorated with the bones of the mass grave that was unearthed when the church was built.

• Cathedral of St. Barbara
  St. Barbara’s Church, or the Cathedral of St. Barbara, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most famous Gothic churches located in Central Europe. Construction on this massive church began in 1388, but because construction was interrupted numerous times, it was not completed until 1905. Located on a hill, this church is one of the best locations to take photos of the historic center of Kutná Hora.

• Vlašský Dvůr
  Vlašský Dvůr, or Italian Court in English, is a beautiful palace in the center of Kutná Hora, which was originally the seat of the Central Mint of Prague. This palace underwent an elaborate reconstruction under King Wenceslas IV during the 14th century and then became a part-time royal residence and later the city’s Town Hall. Today, this beautiful building serves as a museum of coin minting. The museum is open from 09-18:00 during the summer and from 10-16:00 during the winter.
• Historic Center of Kutná Hora
  Kutná Hora’s picturesque historic center is filled with Bohemian ancient wonders, museums, excellent local restaurants and more. This area of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
