Kutná Hora beyond the main loop: the gallery, the exhibition and the fountain the itinerary just passes
A former Jesuit college turned modern gallery, a house that tells the town's own history and a Gothic fountain that has stood on the square since the 15th century.
- GASK
- €4.92, closed Monday
- Dačického dům
- €5.33, daily daily 10–18
- Kamená kašna
- Free, a public monument on the square
All three sit on the same square, or a few steps from it, on the route the itinerary walks late in the day without stopping. Behind each is a story a quick pass doesn't reveal: a Jesuit college turned into a contemporary art gallery, a house devoted to the town's UNESCO status, and a fountain older than most of the buildings around it.
A Jesuit college turned gallery
GASK, the Central Bohemian Gallery, holds its permanent collection inside the former Jesuit college, one of the largest Baroque buildings in town. Entry is €4.92, open Tue–Sun 10–18, closed Monday.
The story of a UNESCO town
Dačického dům holds an exhibition on the reason the historic core of Kutná Hora has stood on the UNESCO list since 1995 — the silver wealth the town was built on and the mint that struck the Prague groschen from it. Entry is €5.33, open daily 10–18, with no closing day.
A fountain older than 500 years
The Gothic stone fountain on the square was built between 1493 and 1495, once part of the town's water supply. It's seen from the outside, free, with no opening hours and no ticket — a public monument in the middle of the square that every walk through the core crosses.
