Entry cost 30 crowns (£1) as a student and the guide was so lovely. She gave us sheets to read spoke a little and then left us to walk around and enjoy. Upstairs is worth a visit too and you can leave a comment in the guestbook. Worth a visit but you don't need too long 20mins was good for us. Just note they won't let you in half an hour before closing.
Remember what the Czech nation achieved in past. Czech martyr Jan Hus that preached here 6 centuries ago was one of the best men not only born to our nation but all around the world. His followers wrote down first Bill of rights and freedoms more than 3centuries earlier than the French thinkers. They also were ready to die protecting it and showed valour by defeating 4 crusades deployed by Vatican and Germans to "correct" the Czech rebels that lived their own way of belief based on justice, equality, freedom and demonetized church.
Unfortunately the English information stands, while much appreciated, are simply literal word translations from Czech (presumably using an automatic service like Google translate). This means that they are hard to read and the meanings hard to grasp. Otherwise interesting building :)
One of the most significant, if not, the most significant buildings in Prague. Czech martyr Jan Hus preached here 6 centuries ago. The history of the first reformer of the church is bought to life by a mix of historical artifacts from the period and boards with an historic overview of Jan Hus. Today the building is used for cerimonies for the Czech Technical University in Prague, which is the oldest public university in Europe.
A good place to chill for half an hour. The history of the place I genuinely found interesting and informative.
