Church of Transfiguration on the Mount Tabor, Tábor, Czech republic

The mighty Roman Catholic church was built in 1440-1552 in late Gothic style and it is dedicated to the miracle of Transfiguration as described in the New Testament and painted in the main altar of this church.

The church and its tower were rebuilt several times due to fire damages and wars. The gables were changed in Rennaisance style in 1559. The tower has gothical base and baroque dome from 1677. It is 78 metres high and has 250 steps. There was a whole Neogothic redesign made in 1896-98 by Josef Mocker (the architect of Prague Castle Cathedral finalization and of several Prague Towers).

The frequent fires resulted in appointment of the tower guardian who had to blow his horn each 15 minutes in the night in order not to get asleep.

The Transfiguration refers to a miracle which happened to Jesus travelling to Mount Tabor with apostles Peter, James and John. Jesus was transfigured and became radiant speaking with Moses and Elijah. They tell him He is a beloved son of God and the apostles should listen to him as he is his Messenger, the bridge between humans and God, heaven and earth.

District de Tábor : les avis sur les hôtels les plus prisés

Grandhotel Zvon

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is fantastically located. Very nice. Well refurbished confortable. Don't forget to select superior room and control to have the right room. The size can differ significantly from a regular room. Our room was very large, but located near the compressors and ventilation of the kitchen so not the best for opening the window ... The air conditioning works well. Beds are new and very firm. A private parking available. Good breakfast "
