Taken from the castle at Český Krumlov. I thought this was a great view of the church and surrounding country side.
The construction of the Church of St.Vitus began in 1340 under the guidance of the German master-builder Linhart of Aldenberk, and was completed only after the Hussite wars. In 1439, it was consecrated by Bishop Nicholas of Passau.
The Church of St.Vitus has three naves with a long five-sided presbytery, oblong two-storey sacristies on both sides, with the Chapel of Resurrection and of St. John of Nepomuck and a vestibule on the northern side. In the western part there is a tower that is decorated on the ground floor with tiny Romanesque windows, on the upper floors is octagonal. The top floor of the tower was built in the Pseudo-Gothic style in the years 1893-1894.
