~ Church of St. Henry and St. Kunhuta/Cunigunde (Kostel sv. Jindřicha a Kunhuty) - Gothic parish church serving 3 Catholic parishes, Czech, Slovak and Magyar.
The church was founded in the first half of the 14th century when the New Town was founded. It was built 1348–1351 in the Gothic style by the Order of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star, who administered it.
For 200 years it was a Hussite Church
During the Prussian bombing of Prague, the church was considerably damaged by cannonballs, many of which are still visible in the vaults of the church. This bombing also damaged the rare Gothic tent roof, which was replaced by a new, simpler Baroque roof. Another important element of the exterior is the roughly exposed masonry of the church.
the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, was baptised here on 19 December 1875.

En parallèle de la construction titanesque de la dernière version de la cathédrale, Josef Mocker construisit cette nouvelle prévôté dans son style de prédilection : le néo-gothique.

Le bâtiment était donc le lieu de résidence du prévôt, jusqu'ici pas de surprise. Il fut comme bon nombre de bâtiments religieux récupérés par le régime communiste.

Il fait néanmoins parti des biens immobiliers rendus à l'église après accord avec l'État signé en 2016. Cet accord contient notamment une clause obligeant l'église à remettre en état tous les biens récupérés. Sacré deal mais bon au moins ils sont de nouveaux maître des lieux. Ici, le bâtiment semblait dans un grave état extérieur comme intérieur au vue des photos des différentes sources. La nouvelle toiture semble superbe, dommage que les travaux commencèrent quelques temps après notre visite.

Concernant l'architecture, Josef Mocker signa ici un "style gothique strict" même si c'est assez discutable comme bon nombre d'architecte contemporain. Il comporte notamment une symétrie presque parfaite à une statue d'angle et un balcon près. L'édifice ne manque pas de pignons ni de lucarnes richement parachevé par du fer forgé et des pinacles. Vous pouvez également vous amusés à compter tous les trèfles présents ici, ils sont en nombre que ça soit à 3 ou 4 feuilles d'ailleurs.

Joli petit mobilier néo-gothique avec ses multiples pinacles et sa Vierge à l'enfant. Mais ce qui m'intéresse le plus à vous partager aujourd'hui c'est les vitraux "modernes" du chœur. Ils ont en effet été conçu pendant la même campagne que les autres (alors que nous sommes dans la partie qui existait déjà de la cathédrale). Celui du milieu traite de Sainte Trinité, à gauche la Vierge Marie et des saints locaux comme Sainte Ide ou Sainte Ludmila (accompagnée de Spytihněv Ier (Premier roi de Bohême et mari de Ludmila) et de la couronne de Saint Venceslas)) et à droite Saint Guy, Saint Venceslas et Charles IV (qui est un peu un saint officieux ici).

In 1677 the tower was topped with a Baroque dome designed by Giovanni ad Capauli
19th century medieval restorations by architect Josef Mocker

right: Ctiborův dům: he building of medieval origin is an important evidence of the late Gothic reconstruction of the town, and its dominant southern façade is historically valuable. It was built after a great fire in 1532, when a large part of the houses in the central part of the town succumbed to the fire.The house is an example of a late Gothic building with Renaissance elements.In 1977, a demanding and expensive reconstruction of the entire building was completed, and its late Gothic façade was returned to it.

Construction of the present-day Gothic cathedral began on 21 November 1344, when the seat of Prague was elevated to an archbishopric. the western end was added from the 1870s to 1929

"Despite the fact that the entire western half of the cathedral is a Neo-Gothic addition, much of the design and elements developed by Peter Parler were used in the restoration, giving the cathedral as a whole a harmonious, unified look. "

The Powder Tower is one of the original 13 city gates in Old Town, Prague. Its construction began in 1475. "The gate was built in 1475 for representational purposes and replaced the Gate of St. Ambrose (part of the Old Town fortifications that was no longer needed at the time), but it was completed only at the end of the 19th century, in a pseudo-Gothic purist style. The gate is 65 meters high, the observation deck is at a height of 44 meters and 186 steps lead to it."

Depuis le petit Montmartre et ses escaliers de Prague 2, vue sur l'ancienne forteresse Vyšehrad dont la basilique en son sein semble être un des seuls restes toujours debout (elle date initialement du XIe siècle). Elle a l'aspect somme tout classique (gothique + néo-gothique pour le coup) mais à l'intérieur semble magnifique. Dommage de le découvrir que maintenant.

Ancien château fort gothique du XIVe siècle dans la Bohême impériale. Il fut commandé par Charles IV pour en faire une résidence digne de ce nom ainsi qu'accueillir les invités de marque et permettre un environnement idéal pour chasser et enfin pour y stocker les bijoux impériaux/royaux et reliques. Entre le milieu et la fin du XIXe siècle, l'empereur qui dominait la Bohême était l'archiduc François-Joseph 1er d'Autriche et il décida comme les autres empereurs (Marienbourg & Haut-Koenigsbourg pour Guillaume II et Pierrefonds pour Napoléon III) de raviver la flamme du médiévale romantique en refaisant presque à neuf ce château. Le but n'était pas de le remettre dans son état initial malgré les sources suffisantes, le but était d'afficher un gothique pur, un gothique fantasmé, un gothique le glorifiant tout en imposant un maximum. Depuis le début du XXe siècle, il fut ouvert au public et est maintenant un des lieux les plus visités du pays et est composé de nombreuses activités.
