The church of St Barbe, begun in the late 14C and finished in the mid-16C, stands on a high site looking down over the meanders of the Vrchlice. Devoted to the patron saint of miners, it is considered to be one of most beautiful Gothic churches of the Czech Republic. The interior illustrates the full creative talent of the late Gothic style, in particular the vault of the nave and the numerous murals illustrating work in the mines (property of the town).
