just like Hungary:) we also have a huge number of gothic-baroque churches. Said between us, I adore these churches. Gothic is majestic, and baroque is beautiful. If we mix the both of them......:)

A genuine masterpiece by Giovanni Blasius (Czech Jan Blazej) Santini-Aichel (03.02.1677, Prague - 07.12.1723, Prague). His grandfather, Antonio Santini was born in Roveredo (German Aichel), but he later moved to Prague and settled there.

How cool is that. The elementary school I attended was called St. John Nepomucene (English) after the same saint! In Munich I also ran into the church with this name. The legend you described is the same I was taught as a child!
