Why pilgrims come

Discover what makes Pilgrimage Church of St. John of Nepomuk at Zelená Hora a place of pilgrimage

Santini's star-shaped Baroque-Gothic pilgrimage church, built in honor of St. John of Nepomuk and again held by the Roman Catholic parish. It combines UNESCO visiting with regular Catholic worship.

Read the five-pointed geometry as theology, then attend the living worship that distinguishes this from a museum.
