Kostel svatého Mikuláse

  • Address: Staromestske namesti, Stare Mesto, Prague, Bohemia

Fodor's Review:

Designed in the 18th century by Prague's own master of late baroque, Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer, this church is probably less successful in capturing the style's lyric exuberance than its namesake across town, the Chrám svatého Mikuláse. Still, Dientzenhofer utilized the limited space to create a well-balanced structure. The interior is compact, with a beautiful, small chandelier and an enormous black organ that overwhelms the rear of the church. Afternoon and evening concerts for visitors are held almost continuously.

  • Open: Apr.-Oct., Mon. noon-4, Tues.-Sat. 10-4, Sun. noon-3; Nov.-Mar., Tues., Fri., and Sun. 10-noon, Wed. 10-4
