 St. Nicholas Church by littlesam1
While I was in Prague there were nightly classical concerts conducted in this church. Tickets were available at the church during the day. There were also street vendors walking through the tourist area offering tickets for the concerts. Leave a Comment Directions: Old-Town Square

 St Nicholas’ Church, Old
town Square, Prague by easyoar
The church has had some interesting uses over the years. It served as a monastery, but was closed when the Emperor closed most of the monasteries down. Apparently after this, the church was emptied of almost anything that could be carried away.
Then during World War I, the church was used to garrison troops. You may think that this would have caused it to decline yet further, but in actual fact the opposite is true. The commander used his troops that had artistic talent to help redecorate the church. I don’t suspect they were too fussed about being given these tasks, as the alternative was being sent to the front! Leave a Comment Directions: Old-Town Square

 St. Nicholas Church and
Jan Hus monument by pili
The monument in the centre of the Old Town Square that you can see in the picture represents Jan Hus, the Czech Republic's national hero who led the Hussite uprising against the nation's Roman Catholic leaders in the 15th century. -
Esta iglesia fue terminada en 1735 por Kilian Dientzenhofer; sus estatuas son obra de Antonín Braun. Originalmente la iglesia pertenecia a un monasterio benedictino, pero ahora pertenece a la iglesia checoslovaca Husita. El monumento en el centro de la plaza que puede verse en la foto representa a Jan Hus, el héroe nacional de la República Checa que condujo la sublevación de los Husitas contra los líderes católicos de la nación en el S XV.

This church is a not to overlook landmark at the northwest corner of the Old Town square. Originally built as church of a Benedictine Abbey by famous architect K. I. Dientzenhofer 1732 - 35 it serves in our days as a concert hall mostly.
The church is an excellent example of the catholic Baroque as it is to find in Southern Germany, Austria and Bohemia. The facade is richly decorated by statues (M. B. Braun), the interior is much too much stucco works and dramatic (dark) frescos for my taste. At least you need good (sun)light to get a good impression - and you'll be surprised how small it is.
Pics 2-4 show the interior. Leave a Comment Directions: Old-Town Square
