Surprisingly, this place was for me more interesting than the occuary at the town. I originally went to Kutná Hora just because of ossuary, but since it's not possible to take pictures there, my visit of the ossuary was quite short. Compared to that, I spent about 2 hours at the cathedral. I liked the interior of the place very much. The lights pointing at the altar were creating a nice cozy atmosphere, even though the building is huge. It's possible to borrow binoculars at the entrance to the cathedral for 50 crowns and I strongly recommend that! Just for that fun to look around and notice small details at the sculptures or anywhere inside. If you plan to see all the main attractions in Kutná Hora, it's better if you drive a car. This cathedral is located 2 km something from the ossuary.

AVOID ENTERING!!! This cathedral has a rich history and great gothic architecture, however, the interior furnishings are entirely missing, and have been either stolen or destroyed. It is extremely offensive that the current Czech Republic degraded religious faith to a museum exhibition, complete with a mandatory and outrageous entrance fees, which even the former Communists in Czechoslovakia have not done. Thus, no self-respecting human being, and surely, no God fearing person would find it within his human dignity and moral conscience to participate in such a disgusting religious sell out.

It might be a bit strange to review cathedral, but this one is something you won't find that often. First of all, it is impressive in size. Moreover, you get access even on the second floor, so basically to all areas! Friendly staff also deserves separate mention here. I recommend to get combo ticket with free entrance to three places. This way you will be able to visit all must-see places in Kutna Hora. It might be a bit difficult with parking, but you can park somewhere on the neighbouring street and then walk a bit. It will be worth short walk, believe me.

Not my thing but my wife likes to visit Cathedrals, and this was part of a guided tour to Kutna Hora from Prague. Takes about 1 hr 20 mins to get here through beautiful countryside. Now I'm not a religious man at all ( I don't need an imaginary friend) but I couldn't help be impressed by the architecture. I still think these buildings were built 100's of years ago to instil fear into ordinary people as a method of control. Nowadays we know how this world developed through science. Anyway that's my view. Its impressive without doubt and well worth a good look

St. Barbara Cathedral in Kutna Hora is a magnificent architectural gem. It's really nice and packed with history. Inside, it's absolutely beautiful, and the surroundings are stunning too. One minus are the ticket prices, which are kinda high compared to other cathedrals fees. We visited during nice sunny weekend and there were just a couple of people, which pleasantly surprised us, as this place is very popular with tourists. But anyway, I highly recommend you to visit this place and then continue to explore this town's charming streets.

This cathedral is dedicated to Saint Barbara the patron saint of miners. The foundation stone was laid 1388 but it took 500 years for it to be completed. During the Baroque time, the administration of the cathedral was taken over by the Jesuits. The painted glass windows are impressive, especially with morning or afternoon sun shining through. Ensure you walk up to the top level to see the 1000+ organ pipes! A combo-ticket, including the Church of Assumption and the Bones Church costs Kr220 vs 260 if the three are bough individually.
