Church of Saint Wenceslaus, Opava

The Church of Saint Wenceslaus features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses that exemplify medieval ecclesiastical architecture in the Moravian-Silesian region.

Dating from the medieval period, this church became part of the Dominican monastery complex and later received recognition as a co-cathedral in 1996.

The church contains numerous historical artifacts and artworks that represent the religious traditions of Silesia throughout different centuries.

Visitors can access the church through the main entrance on Masarykova Street, with guided tours available during designated hours throughout the week.
