Old Town Square

Jan Hus Memorial

Old Town Hall

damage from shelling

A grim reminder

The square's center is home to a statue of religious reformer Jan Hus, who for his beliefs was burned at the stake. The statue was erected on July 6, 1915 to mark the 500th anniversary of his death.
On the bricks beside the town hall are 27 white X's to mark the spot where 24 people were beheaded and 3 hanged in June 1621 after the 30 Years War circa 1618...a result of religious vs political differences. 

X's Mark the Spot

Tyn Church

Tyn (Teen) Church started in the 14th century and completed in the 15th has been the main church in this part of the city since it was built.

St. Nicholas Church

St. Nicholas Church was built in 1735. Both these churches changed ownership from one denomination to another over the years to whatever they are present day.
