Kutná Hora : le centre historique de la ville avec l'église Sainte-Barbe et la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Sedlec
This cultural heritage site in the Czech Republic encompasses the historic centre of Kutná Hora, a medieval town that developed as a significant centre of silver mining and trade. The site is characterised by its remarkable ensemble of Gothic religious architecture, notably the Church of Saint Barbara and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Sedlec, which represent outstanding examples of Central European religious building from the 14th and 15th centuries. The urban layout reflects the prosperity generated by mining activity, with well-preserved streets and structures demonstrating the town's former economic importance. The Cathedral of Our Lady of Sedlec is particularly distinguished by its architectural innovations and the renowned Sedlec Ossuary, a unique artistic creation within its premises. The site's justification for cultural heritage recognition rests on the exceptional quality of its Gothic monuments and the valuable testimony it provides to medieval urban development linked to resource extraction and commerce in Central Europe.
