Addresses you can still visit
Every place in this city with a documented tie to this person.
Studied here
Carolinum
The medieval university headquarters became a battleground over who controlled learning in Bohemia. The 1409 Kutná Hora Decree gave the Czech university nation dominant voting power, prompting many foreign masters and students to leave Prague and helping transform the university into a centre of Hussite politics.
Commemorated here
Church of St. John of Nepomuk on the Rock
Frescoes and furnishings throughout the church present episodes from the canon’s life and martyrdom.
Burial place
St. Vitus Cathedral
The cathedral contains the tomb of Wenceslas, the murdered Přemyslid ruler whose brother seized power after his death in 935. Charles IV later dedicated the Bohemian crown to the dead saint, meaning that subsequent kings symbolically borrowed their authority from an assassination victim buried beneath the chapel floor.
