Church of Saint James the Greater in Příbram
Church of Saint James the Greater in Příbram, Gothic church in Příbram, Czech Republic.
The Church of Saint James the Greater in Příbram is a Gothic building with a simple facade and modest windows, topped by a tower. The interior is divided into three naves that create the church's distinctive spatial arrangement.
Construction started under King Wenceslas I in 1232 with a basic structure. Later, three naves were added in 1319 during the reign of King John of Bohemia, giving the building its current form.
The church is dedicated to Saint James the Greater and houses multiple altars inside, along with the tomb of Count Vratislav of Mitrovice. These works were created by Ferdinand Maxmilián Brokoff and reflect the artistic importance of this religious space.
The church is open to visitors during daytime hours and offers straightforward access to the interior. Keep in mind that regular services take place, so visitors should be respectful when the building is in use for worship.
Near the entrance hangs a preserved human hand connected to a legend about a thief who allegedly tried to steal from a statue of the Virgin Mary. This unusual relic stands as a curious witness to local stories and popular beliefs.
