TYN CHURCH (Před Týnem) The towers of the Tyn Church have visibly stood the test of centuries.  This Gothic church was built in the mid-1300s on the site of a Romanesque structure.  Tyn Church was originally a church of the Reformation, and home to the reformer Jan Hus.  However, since the counter-Reformation the Tyn Church has been a Catholic bastion.

The church's twin towers, bristling with turrets and walkways, are over 200 feet tall.  These towers were 16th Century additions to the original church.
