  • Tip Rating:
  • The Church of our Lady before Tyn is an impressive Gothic cathedral. It is located in the Old Town Square, its towers looming dramatically above the smaller buildings.

    The church is Prague's most important gothic sanctuary and is a very impressive sight - even more so at night when it is flood lit. I kept dragging Alex back in the evenings....trying to get the perfect photo.

    The two prominent spires are not symmetrical...apparently they represent both the feminine and masculine sides of the world.

    Church of Our Lady before Tyn: Old Town -Tyn Church
  • Tip Rating:
  • The spires of Our Lady before Tyn dominate the old town as much as St Nicholas dominates Mala Strana. Its rarely open, apart from services but the best view of the exterior is from the Town Hall Tower and here you get a good glimpse of its "Walt Disney" style spires and turrets.

    Church of Our Lady before Tyn: Tyn Church
  • Tip Rating:
  • Here is another view of Our Lady Before Tyn. I took this photo from the top of the Old Town Tower. Jan Hus' followers were responsible for the building of Our Lady Before Tyn. It was built in the 15th century. It has several names that it is recognized by: Our Lady Before Tyn, The Church of the Virgin Mary before Tyn. The Tyn Church. The church itself played a vital role in the reformation in Bohemia. It was the most important church of the Hussites in the 16th century. In the evenings the entire church has lights shining on it giving it almost an enchanted glow. I believe I was drawn to it as many times in the evening as I was during the day light hours.

  • Towering over Old Town Square is OUR LADY BEFORE TYN or Tyn Cathedral. The Church was started in the latter 14th century and took the next few centuries to complete. With its 80 meter high spires, Tyn Cathedral is believed to be the most impressive example of Gothic architecture in Prague.

  • I had seen many pictures of this church while doing my research for the trip to Prague. However I was not prepared for its over powering presence. I thought it would be just another of many beautiful churches I have seen while traveling. But from my arrival until the time I left this church kept haunting me. I found it so much more beautiful than any pictures had revealed. And each day I kept finding myself drawn within its shadows. I have many pictures of Our Lady Before Tyn. I think I must have taken pictures of it each day. And I kept telling myself "You already have pictures of this church. Move on." But instead I returned everyday to view it once more.

  • This church rises up over Tyn School on Old Town Square. It is an early gothic design and was built between the middle of the 14th century and the arly 16th century. To gain access you walk up a small alleyway at the side.

  • Dominating the Eastern portion of the Old Town Square is quite possibly the most beautiful church I have ever seen!

    Its magnificent fairytale gothic steeples are perhaps its most striking feature, complimenting the architecture of the Old Square so beautifully - a great landmark if you ever get lost, I should think!

    Started in 1365, it is not really open to the general public as such, but only open for services at set times. If you do decide to come for the services, then by all means attend but make sure you attend for the duration and show appropriate respect.

    To actually get to the church from the square, you can through a collonaded passageway by the House at the Stone Bell, the entrance is not immediately apparent but a bit of common sense will get you there!

    For me, the most impressive thing fact about this church is the fact that the famous Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) is buried here - a colourful character indeed! ;-)

    Church of Our Lady before Tyn: Church of Our Lady of Victory - the Prague Bambino

  • An early baroque building from the year 1611, 1634 - 1669 rebuilt by the Carmelite Order. The church is world-famous thanks to the Prague Bambino - Infant Jesus wax figure (of the Spanish origin), which was presented to the church by Polyxena of Lobkowicz (1628).

  • The beautiful twin towers of this fourteenth century, Gothic church dominate the Old Town Square. It was the main church used by the Hussites in the 15th century and then, in complete contrast, the Jesuits in the 17th century.
