Church of Saint Maurice in Olomouc
This is a Roman Catholic church in Olomouc, Czech Republic. It is located in the city centre, near the Horní náměstí - Upper Square and remains one of the most important landmarks of the city.
It is unknown when exactly the church was constructed. It has two towers – the southern tower dates back to 1403, it is the oldest part of the building; the northern one dates back to 1412. The church was probably consecrated in 1492. The Neo-Gothic main altar was built in 1861. The church is built as arched triple-nave. Main nave contains church organs, which originates from 1740–45; with their five manuals and 135 registers they are the 7th largest in Central Europe (and 52nd in the world). Their author was organist Michael Engler.
The church has been designated a National Cultural Landmark by the government in 1995. The southern tower serves as a lookout tower with view on the whole city of Olomouc and surroundings.

Holy Trinity Column in Olomouc - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Holy Trinity Column in Olomouc is probably the smallest UNESCO World Heritage site we've visited so far! It's a plague column, approx 35 metres tall, built in the 18th century as a memorial for local plague victims, and to celebrate local saints and craftsmen. It was also controversial because among the saints was included a non-saint, John Sarkander, though the problem was eventually rectified when he was canonised in the late 20th century.

Olomouc, Czech Republic | The Heart of Moravia
Olomouc is just one of the many beautiful small towns throughout the Czech Republic and for anyone visiting Moravia it's somewhere I would definitely recommend checking out.
Despite its beauty and well-preserved old town Olomouc is still a hidden gem and even during the peak of the summer tourist season there weren't too many people wandering around.
The town is actual the historical capital of Moravia and is the 6th largest city in the Czech Republic, although it feels like much more of small town.
Throughout the old town are a wide variety of brightly painted medieval buildings and some of the popular sights include the astronomical clock, the two different squares, the Plague column, and the Saint Wenceslas Cathedral.

The church of St Michael in Olomouc
The present look of the church is the result of reconstruction of the original Gothic church into the Baroque style. The rich sculptural and painting decor of the interior of the single nave building demonstrates the Baroque impact on the senses of believers.
The facades of the church are decorated with statues of the Saviour and the Virgin Mary by Andreas Zahner from the 1730s. A gothic ambit with a cross vault and the Gothic St. Alexis Chapel adjoin the church building.
In the 13th century the Dominicans built a monastery and a new church on the location of todays St. Michaels Church. In the vestry vaulting from the first half of the 13th century has been preserved. The ambit, formerly part of the church, has groyne vaulting from the second half of the 13th century. The vaulting of the presbytery from the 1380s has been preserved in the St. Alexis Chapel as well as a Gothic entrance portal.
During the Thirty Years War the church was seriously damaged and was consequently reconstructed in the Baroque style over the years 1673-1699. The Dominicans entrusted the work on the church to Giovanni Pietro Tencalla, the Imperial architect and engineer originally from Bissone near Lake Lugano. Minor adaptations at the beginning of the 18th century in the final phase of the reconstruction work were carried out by another renowned Italian architect Domenico Martinelli from Lucca. The reconstruction work did not touch the original Gothic tower.
The building of the monastery, neighbouring the church, was reconstructed for the uses of a seminary for priests in the 19th century.
Olomouc became one of the most important settlements in Moravia in the Middle Ages. The city itself was founded in mid-thirteenth century and became one of the most important trade and power centres in the region. In the Middle Ages it was the biggest town in Moravia and competed with Brno for the position of the capital. Olomouc lost finally after the Swedes took the city for eight years (1642-1650).
The second half of the fifteenth century is what can be viewed as the start of Olomouc's golden age. However, during the Thirty Years' War, in 1640, Olomouc was occupied by the Swedes for eight years. They left the city in ruins and so it ceded its position to Brno. Olomouc was then fortified by Maria Theresa during the wars with Frederick the Great, who besieged the city unsuccessfully for seven weeks in 1758. In 1848 Olomouc was the scene of the emperor Ferdinand's abdication, and in 1850 an important conference between Austrian and German statesmen called Punctation of Olmütz took place here. At the conference German Confederation was restored and Prussia submitted its leadership to the Austrians.
