| Discussion | St. John Nepomuk Church Commentary
"At Zelena Hora, not far from Zdar nad Sazavou in Moravia, lies this pilgrimage church, built in honour of St John of Nepomuk. Constructed at the beginning of the 18th century, in a star-shaped design, it is the most original work of the great architect Jan Blazej Santini, whose highly original style falls between neo-Gothic and Baroque." | |
