St. Stephan's Dom was a Cathedral originally built in the 1100s, it burned down then was rebuilt beginning in the 1400s. It was rebuilt in Gothic Style architecture, with ribbed vaulted ceilings, and pointed archs. St. Stephan's interior boasted beautiful stained glass windows and private chapels for wealthy families. The Hasburg's wanted to show people how much power they had, and thought that having a Cathedral and a bishop in their city would signify this.
Prague- St. Vitus and St. George
St. Vitus
St. Vitus was a cathedral built in the 1100s in the high gothic style. Much like St. Stephan's the interior also had ribbed vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows, and private chapels. Unlike St. Stephan's St. Vitus had an additional high gothic feature because of its flying buttresses you see in the photo above.
St. George
St. George was built in the 900s in the Romanesque style of architecture. It boasts clean arches, capitals and arcades. It is very different in comparison to St. Stephans and St. George high gothic features.
