The defining point of Kutná Hora’s skyline, St. James was finished in 1336 and was the region’s first stone church. Its tower is 86 metres tall. Interesting pieces remain throughout the church’s interior including gothic choir benches from the 1480s and the Holy Trinity painting from 1734 and the painting of the Beheading of St. Jacob from 1752. Most of the items seen today though date back to the end of the 17th century. The church also boasts two organs– a rare baroque gem from the end of the 17th century and the largest organ in Kutná Hora from the turn of the 20th century.
