Description

Built around the year 1037 by the Bohemian Prince Břetislav I as a large parochial church. Apparently in 1134 it was decorated with frescoes representing, besides biblical motives, the legend about the calling of Premysl the Ploughman to the princely throne, and a picture gallery of the oldest Bohemian princes of the Premyslide family. Thanks for viewing and comments.
