There are three St. Nicholas churches in Prague. Construction of St. Nicholas Church in the Lesser Town began in 1703, on the site of a former parish church, the records for which date back to 1283.
St. Nicholas Church lies at the centre of the Lesser Town Square (Malostranské náměstí) and is the largest of Prague's churches founded by the Jesuits.
The church is the masterpiece of Christoph and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer, a father and son duo who constructed many buildings during the Baroque period. Unfortunately, neither lived to see its completion. The building was finished by Kilian's son-in-law, Anselmo Lurago.
Still working my way through editing of my Prague photos.Many thanks for all your views,comments and favs,always much appreciated.
