Bronze Doors at St. Vitus

            St Vitus is a Gothic cathedral within the Prague Castle complex.  The West Portal Door is the main entrance into the cathedral.  

The two bronze doors have reliefs depicting stories about Saints Wenceslas and Adalbert.  They are 'modern' and date to 1926 - 1929.  The bronze reliefs were designed by Vratislav Hugo Brunner and were executed by Otakar Španiel.

On the top panel of the left door, Henry the Fowler (Duke of Saxony and the King of East Francia), presents the arm of St Vitus to St Wenceslas.  On the right door, Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV presents the relics of Saint Vitus to the church.  Note the Moravian/Silesian Eagle and the Bohemian Lion on left and right panels here; they are the main features of the Czech national emblem.

The cathedral is the burial site of many Kings of Bohemian, and also contains the relics of Saints Wenceslas, Adalbert and Vitus.
