The
oldest
written
mention
of
the
church
of
St.
Nicholas
dates
from
1328.
Today's
Baroque
building
dates
from
1704
and
was
built
on
the
site
of
an
older
sacral
building
of
Romanesque
origin,
probably
the
chapel
of
St.
Mary
Magdalene.
The
originally
Gothic
church
was
later
rebuilt
several
times,
and
its
equipment
and
decoration
were
also
often
changed.
At
the
end
of
the
19th
century,
its
capacity
stopped
meeting
the
rapidly
growing
number
of
inhabitants,
so
its
ship
was
extended
in
1896.
In
the
tower
hangs
one
of
the
oldest
Prague
bells,
cast
in
1511,
which
bears
the
name
of
St.
the
apostle
Peter.
The
interior
is
furnished
very
simply.
