Church of Our Lady before Tyn A dominating presence on Old Town Square

Celetna 5 Prague 11000 +420 6 0230 6186 http://tynska.farnost.cz

This fairy tale Gothic church with its twin towers is an Old Town landmark, and its ominous presence has dominated the square for centuries. Most noteworthy on the inside is the tomb of Rudolf II's personal astronomer, Tycho Brahe. When lit up at night, it adds to the "magic Prague" effect the city has on many visitors. Work on the church began in the first half of the 14th century but it was not until the end of the 16th century that it was completed. Its 80-meter towers topped by four small spires were customary during the reign of Emperor Charles IV. Review © 2009, Wcities
