The Church of St. Nicholas is a majestic domed church with two southern towers, which are its main decoration. The creator of the temple was the most authoritative architect of the Baroque era - Kilian Ignaz Dinzenhofer. The facade of the building is decorated with statues of saints by sculptor Antonin Brown. Today, the church building belongs to the Czech Hussite Church and is the main Hussite church in the Czech Republic.
Inside the temple is an elegant crystal chandelier made in the shape of the imperial crown. The gilded elements of the interior decoration of the church perfectly complement the stained glass windows with images of St. Nicholas and St. Wenceslas. The church also has a functioning organ, which is decorated with gilded figures of angels.
