Chrám svaté Barbory (Saint Barbara’s Church) is an enormous Gothic church built with the wealth from a silver mine under the small town of Kutna Hora.

The church took over 500 years to build making parts of it quite modern, including the beautiful Art Nouveau stained glass windows. The roof has the appearance of three large tents and is recognizable from far away.
