Loreta, Baroque church in Hradčany, Czech Republic
The Loreta sanctuary features a central courtyard with the Holy House, surrounded by cloisters and the Church of the Nativity of Our Lord.
Construction of the sanctuary started in 1626 under architect Giovanni Orsi, funded by Baroness Kateřina Benigna from the Lobkowicz noble family.
The sanctuary contains an extensive collection of liturgical objects, including the Prague Sun, a monstrance adorned with 6,222 diamonds.
The sanctuary welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 to 17:00, with standard admission at 230 CZK and reduced rates for children and students.
The tower houses a carillon of 30 bells from Amsterdam, playing Marian hymns every hour across the Hradčany district since 1695.
