The Cathedral of St. Barbara in Kutná Hora is a magnificent, yet pleasantly intimate building with an unforgettable atmosphere. Its construction began in the Middle Ages, yet it was not completed until the 20th century. And although the cathedral mixes Gothic architecture with modern elements, its uniqueness has led to its inclusion on the UNESCO list of monuments.

Originally, it was the seat of the Central Mint of Prague; it was named after the Italian experts who were at the forefront of the minting reform. The main area of the mint consisted of coin-makers-workshops, or Smithies, which were located around the courtyard, and the minting chamber, called “Preghaus”, where the Prague groschen were struck. After its reconstruction at the end of the 14th century, the Italian Court became a part-time royal residence.

The church was built first in the Gothic style around 1300 as one of the first High Gothic building in the Kingdom of Bohemia and as the first church in the kingdom resembling French Gothic cathedrals. It was built on the place of an older church and was a part of the Cistercians Sedlec Abbey, which was the oldest Cistercian abbey in the Czech lands founded in 1142.
