DSC07919-Sedlec Virgin Assumption Cathedral

Construction of the originally early-Gothic-style cathedral was started in about 1280. Building works were finished forty years later in 1320. As the earliest cathedral built in the country, it had been also the largest church structure before the construction of St. Vitus cathedral in Prague was completed. Cathedral in Sedlec was built by members of the Cistercian order who had come to Sedlec already in 1142 at the invitation of Miroslav, a noble man close to Prince Vladislav II. Turning point in the history of the monastery is 1421 when the premises of the Sedlec Monastery were plundered by Hussite army and the cathedral burnt down. It lay 279 years in rubble. Between 1700-1709 there were carried out restoration works by Jan Blažej Santini who rebuilt cathedral in the baroque style.
The cathedral has been on the World Heritage List of UNESCO since 1995.
Cathedral has been undergoing restoration with support of the Ministry of Culture (financial resources have been drawn on the fund for “Saving architectonic heritage in the Czech Republic“). Significant contribution has been paid by Catholic church in Kutná Hora- Sedlec
