The basics

King Charles IV laid the cathedral’s foundation stone in 1344. It was consecrated in 1929, and the last building work was finished in the 1950s.

The cathedral is loved for its magnificent stained-glass windows, including a huge rose window that fills the nave with color. Famous art nouveau artists, including Alphonse Mucha, designed the panels to the left of the entrance. Guided tours of the cathedral are popular with visitors looking to learn more about the fascinating architectural touches found here and their historical significance.
