One of the centerpieces of Nymburk, is The Gothic Church of St. Giles. It dates from 1280 to 1380 and is a rare example of Gothic brick architecture. The oldest parts of the church include the presbytery with triumphal arch with an old vestry and a chapel. In about 1350 the basilica-type triple-nave with the northern brick steeple was added to the presbytery. In 1370 the construction of the St. Dorothy(and your little dog too) chapel was started and the Parler´s workshop was part of the final completion of the building work along with the construction of the southern steeple of sandstone blocks; which is 66 metres high.
