Exploring St. Nicholas Cathedral: A Journey Through History and Reconstruction

Join me, Krteček the little mole, as I share my adventures visiting the stunning St. Nicholas Cathedral in České Budějovice. On January 21, I met Mr. Kročák, who guided me through the cathedral's historical highlights and magnificent architecture. Established in 1265 and reconstructed after a fire in 1641, the cathedral is a masterpiece of Baroque design. I'll show you captivating photographs of its features, including frescoes, the pulpit, and the main altar, and discuss ongoing reconstruction efforts supported by the city and the EU.
