Pilgrimage Church of St John of Nepomuk at Zelená Hora

Unesco description
This pilgrimage church, built in honour of St John of Nepomuk, stands at Zelená Hora, not far from Ždár nad Sázavou in Moravia. Constructed at the beginning of the 18th century on a star-shaped plan, it is the most unusual work by the great architect Jan Blazej Santini, whose highly original style falls between neo-Gothic and Baroque.

​History:
Construction of this church was started in 1719, when the Roman Catholic Church declared the tongue of John of Nepomuk incorruptible. He had received his early education here and therefore work on the pilgrimage church was started.
