St. Bartholomew Church

Description

The eastern part of the 400 metre-long Husovo Square in Rakovník is dominated by the high Gothic Church of St. Bartholomew, a 14th-century structure. The church was built on the site of an older church dedicated to St. Nicholas. Adjacent to the church stands a bell tower dating from 1495. It is considered as the most precious gothic bell tower in the Czech Republic and one of the most precious in Europe. The bell has a diameter of 1.6 metres.
