St. Nicholas Church in Louny<br />
Benedikt Ried, completed 1538<br />
One of Benedikt Ried’s final works and completed posthumously.<br />
The floral vaults of Vladislav Hall and Kutná Hora<br />
are abandoned in favour of a simpler design incorporating<br />
truncated ribs and a prominently expressed crease in<br />
the vault surface. The fluted columns and springers are<br />
once again remeniscient of the roughly contemporary St.-<br />
Annen-Kirche.<br />
The visitor’s attention is stolen from the vaults by an immense<br />
tripartite timber altarpiece carved by Jerome Kohl<br />
and his student František Preiss in 1701–1706.<br />
Scope of survey: Keystone levels, VR panoramas<br />
