Description:
|
Originally a Romanesque church, the church was radically reconstructed in the second half of the 14th century to a Late Gothic style. The south portal is considered to be the work of sculptors of the Parler family from Prague (end of the 14th century). The Gothic composition of the portal consists of fifteen statues placed in eleven shallow niches. On top are the statues of Joseph and Mary with the infant Jesus, and below them, St. Mark and the Lion; the Twelve Apostles are placed on both sides of the portal (four wooden statues replaced the original ones which had been destroyed). In its artistic composition and the number of statues, this portal is the richest and the most valuable Gothic portal in southern Central Europe.
