Kroměříž - Kirche des hl. Mauritius und des hl. Johannes des Täufers

Kroměříž (Kremsier) wird wegen seiner vielen Baudenkmäler oft als „Hannakisches Athen“ apostrophiert. Die Geschichte der mährischen Stadt Kroměříž reicht bis ins 12. Jahrhundert zurück. Bereits zu jener Zeit hatte sie sich im Besitz der in Olomouc residierenden Bischöfe, bzw. Erbischöfe befunden. Die dreischiffige gotische St.-Mauritius-Kapitelkirche wurde noch vor 1262 gegründet, an ihrer Wiege stand der Olmützer Bischof Bruno von Schauenburg (Schaumburk). In der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde die Kirche von einem Brand heimgesucht und anschließend im neogotischen Stil baulich umgestaltet.

Die Täuferkirche von Kroměříž zählt ebenfalls zu bedeutenden Denkmälern der historischen Stadt. Sie wurde an der Stelle einer ehemaligen Kommende des Malteserordens errichtet, an ihren Vorgängerbau erinnern Malterserkreuze sowie auch die beiden Türme. Diese reich ausgeschmückte barocke Kirche war als Bestandteil des piaristischen Kloster- und Schulareals entstanden.

Fresken um 1250 und einen frühgotischen Karner.

Prague 2009, St. Vitus Cathedral

nobody@ipernity.com (Albert) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 04:16:22 +0000

Albert has posted a doc:

To many people, St. Vitus Cathedral is Prague Castle. While the enormous Prague Castle complex includes many fine buildings, St. Vitus is the one that dominates the city skyline and is visible from far and wide.

St. Vitus is the spiritual symbol of the Czech state. A Gothic masterpiece, work on the cathedral was commissioned by Charles IV and began in 1344 upon the site of an earlier 10th century rotunda. In all, it took nearly six centuries to complete.

Its first builders, Matthias of Arras and later Peter Parler, built the chancel with a ring of chapels, St. Wenceslas Chapel, the Golden Portal and the lower part of the main steeple.

The final phase of construction only ended during the period 1873-1929.

As well as being the largest and most important temple in Prague, St. Vitus Cathedral also oversaw the coronations of Czech kings and queens.

In the chancel of the cathedral, in front of the high alter, is the royal mausoleum. Below this, in the crypt, there are the royal tombs. Czech kings and queens and patron saints are interred here.

St. Wenceslas Chapel is decorated with frescoes and semi-precious stones. A door in the south-western corner of the chapel leads to the Crown Chamber in which the Bohemian Coronation Jewels are stored.

Albert has posted a doc:

The square is in the centre of the Old Town. In the past it was just a little settlement in a so-called “Jewish Iceland”. The oldest marketplace used to be here. The square became a centre of all settlement round the castle little by little. An important route led over the square to customs office Ungelt. Many interesting buildings of both historical and architectonical value surround the square. Maybe the most famous is the Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock, Tyn Church, House At the Stone Bell, Kinsky Palace, St. Nicholas Church, House At a Minute and so forth. A statue of Jan Hus stands in the centre of the square. Its author was sculptor L. Šaloun. The square witnessed many troubled moments of Czech history; one of them was an execution of Czech nobles in 1621 after the Battle of the White Mountain. At present the square is full of noises and during Advent and before Easter also full of stands and various attractions. Sometimes there are concerts held on special occasions.
