Church of Saint James the Greater
Church of Saint James the Greater, Baroque church in Praha-Zbraslav, Czech Republic
The Church of Saint James the Greater stands with a light-colored facade and features multiple altars adorned with detailed religious sculptures and paintings.
Founded in the late 13th century, the church underwent reconstruction after a devastating fire in 1689, transforming from Gothic to Baroque architecture by 1702.
The church contains the tomb of Count Vratislav of Mitrovice, decorated with sculptural work by Ferdinand Maxmilián Brokoff, representing Czech Baroque craftsmanship.
Regular Catholic services take place in the church, while its exceptional acoustics make it a preferred venue for organ concerts and musical performances.
A preserved human hand hangs on the entrance wall, reportedly belonging to a thief who attempted to steal the Virgin Mary statue centuries ago.
