Saint Giles Church, Nymburk
Saint Giles Church (Czech: Kostel svatého Jiljí) is a church on the Kostelní Square in the centre of Nymburk in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. The church was built probably in the 13th century, as well as the surrounding town, however, there are no preserved sources confirming its origins. The church is a three nave basilica with a long chancel and a tower in the front. There was also a second tower, but now there are only its remains. The temple is an example of brick Gothic architecture, except of a few parts which are made from sandstone. Its thin tower reaches 66 metres (217 ft) and together with mediaeval ramparts creates a characteristic silhouette of the town. The dean's church was initially dedicated to Saint Nicholas, during the Thirty Years' War the dedication changed to Saint Giles. The church is a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
