Svatá Hora (Holy Mountain) upon Příbram
Svatá
Hora upon Příbram in the Czech Republic pertains to well known central European
pilgrimage sites. The pilgrim church with cloisters and the residence were built by Jesuit
order during 1658 – 1675 on the place of an old small chapel. Amount of artists,
craftsmen and artificers participated in the embellishment of the site. The leading role
fell to architects Benjamin Šlejer and Carlo Lurago. The Jesuits have built the roofed
stairway, which steers from the town of Příbram to Svatá Hora. A great bohemian baroque
architect Kilián Ignác Dienzenhofer made the plans of this stairway. Some small tectonic
adaptations continued during next centuries. |
