This early Gothic church, more often referred to as a cathedral, dates back to the middle of the 13th century during the reign of Ottokar II of Bohemia. Following the fire in the cathedral, the reconstruction was led by Petr Parléř himself, simultaneously with the construction of the St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague taking place.
Scope of work: manufacturing of atypical chandeliers, wall lamps for illuminating wood carvings of the Way of the Cross and other elements.
Interesting fact:
According to the request, the lighting fixtures were meant to be quite simple as not to overshadow the interior design of the cathedral and in any way distract the visitors from its beautiful details. A crown of chandelier arms was made for the already existing candelabra of the floor lamps.
Design of the lighting fixtures: Karel Švásta
