Lonely Planet review

The baroque wedding cake in the northwestern corner of the square is the Church of St Nicholas, built in the 1730s by Kilian Dientzenhofer (not to be confused with at least two other St Nicholas churches in Prague, including the Dientzenhofers' masterwork in Malá Strana).

Considerable grandeur has been worked into a very tight space; originally the church was wedged behind the Old Town Hall's northern wing (destroyed in 1945). Chamber concerts are often held beneath its stucco decorations, a visually splendid (though acoustically mediocre) setting.
