Seek out the Church of Our Lady of the Snows, a soaring Gothic landmark that many pass without noticing. Inside, look up at the high vaults and the large ornate altarpiece in a quiet, daylight-filled nave.

📖

Full description

The Church of Our Lady of the Snows sits in Nové Město close to Wenceslas Square, yet its tucked-away entrance means many visitors walk past. Inside, the nave rises to extremely high ceilings, with tall windows letting in daylight along both sides, and a large, ornate altarpiece anchors the space.

It mixes Gothic and Renaissance styles. Visitors often mention the quiet and the sense of scale, and a small park next to the church offers a good view of the exterior.

Entry is free and 20 minutes is enough for a visit.

Reviews

Such a beautiful light fileld church with extremely high ceilings and glass windows on both sides that extend to the ceiling from about two thirds up the building. 4 clusters of beautiful ornate sculptures and the main altar centre piece that extends from wall to wall and all the way to the ceiling with the crucifix…
