OLD TOWN SQUARE, Church Of Tyn

The Church of Our Lady before Tyn, also known as the Church of Tyn, or market cathedral, was built in Gothic style at the beginning of the 14th century, over the remains of two earlier churches, one Romanesque and the other Gothic, dated 1256.

It takes its name from the large courtyard behind it, used as a market and as a customs point. The courtyard is also home to the Church of St. James, of Gothic origin but renovated in Baroque style after a fire in 1689.

The Church of Tyn was completed around 1450, with the building of the tympanum, the triangular surface surrounded by the frame of the pediment, and the two towers, similar but not perfectly identical, both crowned with sharply pointed turrets, with a height of 80 meters....
