Church of Saint James the Greater, Gothic church in Prachatice, Czech Republic.
The Church of Saint James the Greater features a three-nave structure with a polygonal presbytery and an irregular facade topped by a 53-meter tower.
Construction began in the first half of the fourteenth century, with reconstruction following a fire at the start of the sixteenth century.
Network vaults and cross-ribbed vaults in the presbytery contain preserved late Gothic paintings depicting saints and biblical scenes.
The church stands at Děkanská 383 in Prachatice, operating under the Roman Catholic Diocese of České Budějovice for religious services and visitor access.
Only one of the planned twin towers reached completion, receiving a Renaissance gallery covered by a small dome at its summit.
