Pilgrimage church of St. John of Nepomuk
This RC church is visually one of the most unique religious buildings in the Czech Republic; shaped as a five-pointed star. Among other reasons the corners symbolise the five letters of tacui, meaning 'I was silent' in Latin. Around it are cloisters following ten vertices adding coherence to its impressive layout. The church perches on a small hill overlooking part of Žďár and surrounding forests and ponds close to the source of the Sázava. If only I had the chance to see it from the air.
