Overview
The Church of Our Lady before Týn is a major landmark in Prague that represents a mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and early Baroque styles. Its construction spanned from the mid-14th century to the early 16th century, resulting in a building that serves as a gallery of historical art. The interior contains significant pieces like paintings by Karel Škréta and the city oldest organ from 1673. Visitors often come to see the tomb of astronomer Tycho Brahe and the 1414 Gothic tin fontal. The structure is easily identified by its two 80-meter towers, known as Adam and Eve, which stand over the Old Town.
