St. Vitus Church - Cesky Krumlov

The St. Vitus cathedral shares with the castle the peninsula created by the river Vltava, thus creating an impressive architectural feature that characterizes the town.

The castle tower symbolizes the secular ruling power and the region of its influence; the church tower of St. Vitus then personifies the might of the holy Christendom which from medieval times functioned both as a counterpart and complement of the worldly powers.

This Gothic church was built in the 14th century and was rebuilt from 1407-1439 and sits at the top of hill in the village. Both towers can be seen from any point in the village.

St. Vitus has wonderful acoustics and the townspeople are eager and demonstrate great love for music and talent.
