About This Attraction
The Church of St. Nicholas was built by the father-and-son architects Christoph and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer between 1732 and 1737, and is considered one of the best examples Czech Baroque architecture.
The magnificent interior is dominated by a ceiling fresco over the nave by J. L. Kracker featuring scenes from the life of St. Nicholas, which is one of the biggest in Europe. The complexity of the arrangement of the interior, along with the interesting lighting scheme, is one of the most impressive church interiors in Prague.
