On the spot where the Old town church of St. Nicholas stands, have stood a church for centuries. St. Nicholas was one more in a series. It became the Old Town’s parish church as well as its meeting place. This role changed with the construction of Týn Church in the 14th century.

Following the Battle of the White Mountains, St. Nicholas became part of a Benedictine Monastery. In 1735, the church completed its new look under K. Dientsenhofer. The dramatic white façade peppered with statues by Antonin Braun is from this period. Two towers (1755) flank the southern rather than the western façade. The central dome arrives later. St. Nicholas became a Concert Hall (1865) and a Russian Orthodox Church (1871).After the closing of all but socially useful monasteries in 1781, St. Nicholas lay wasted. Druing WWI it acted as a garrison for Prussian troops. Finally, in WWI a concerted collective of Czech artists began to restore it. Today, you can see the frescoes of the lives of St. Nicholas and St. Benedict and admire the large, crystal chandelier made from glass from the town of Harrachov. Visit during one of their daily concerts.
