Contemplative at the Church of St. James (Brno – Czech)

We made the short walk over to the Church of St. James after meandering through the centre of town. St. James’ church is a late Gothic three-nave church built in the middle of St. James’ square at the centre of Brno. It has a rich history which began in the early 13th century. The church was thus finally categorized as a national monument in 1995.

At the entrance into the church.

Here are photos of the interior of the church of the ground floor, simple yet beautiful in its own right.

A lovely work of art.

 

Bibles for the congregation.
Immensely high ceilings
A close-up of some of the symbols etched in the ceiling.
Intricate woodwork.
Ornate looking organs that still function can be seen on the balcony.
Uber vintage benches

Then we took a short tour of the balcony and went up the clock tower to view the old bells that still tolled.

View from the very narrow lookout from the clock tower.
Inside the roof, up in the rafters of the church.
The bell that still tolls when the time comes.
