Обязательно посетите этот храм на Староместской площади. В Праге два собора святого Николая. Один из них католические на малой стороне. Вход туда платно. Хотя есть возможность зайти бесплатно. Эти нюансы я говорю своим гостям. Сюда же вход бесплатно. Собор когда-то был католическим, потом отказался сотрудничать чешским королём, был закрыт и переделан под склад оружием. Потом его взяла в аренду Русская православная церковь. Сегодня это Гуситский протестантский храм. Уникальный том, что там остался орган от католиков, люстра от православных, белые стены как у протестантов. Рекомендую прийти туда также на концерты органной музыки.

Check the place for an atmosphere.

The Hussite church with chandeliers and vaulted ceilings, built in the 12th century, impresses with its interior decoration. The interior, with its interesting light effects, is dominated by a crystal chandelier in the shape of an imperial crown from the Harrachov glassworks, a gift from the Russian Tsar to the Orthodox Church. In addition, the interior of the temple contains an ancient organ with sculptures of angels with trumpets. The angels hold musical instruments in their hands, creating the illusion of a whole orchestra playing. The building has good acoustics and hosts classical and organ music concerts.
