Church of St. Nicolas Photo

Photographer’s Note

This picture of the Znojmo centre is taken from the townhall tower and shows the old streets dominated by the Church of St. Nicolas. The construction of the main town church began in 1338 on the site of a previous Romance church from the 12th century. The smelting plant of Václav Parléř and Lorenzo Spening participated in the construction of the three-aisled hall , which was finished as late as the early 16th century. The author of the pulpit, built in 1760 in the shape of a globe, is J. Winterhalder the Elder.

Hi Marketa

Thanks for letting us see the beauty of your wonderful country. It’s really amazing how such amazing piece of history remains almost untouchable through centuries. I like the light, it’s very soft and gentle and it gives a perfect sense of peace. Perspective is spot on as well. The photo is pretty sharp especially for that kind of aperture and I like it very much. It was pleasure to se that picture.

Cheers
Dmitri
