Church
Kostel Božího Těla a Panny Marie
Pivovarská 28, Latrán, 381 01 Český Krumlov-Český Krumlov 1
Baroque monastery church with a nearly original seventeenth-century organ hidden behind its altar.
This guide to Kostel Božího Těla a Panny Marie in Český Krumlov centers on the organ finished in 1682 by builders Nicolaus Christeindl and Bernhard Wollerse, tucked out of sight behind the high altar of this Franciscan monastery church. It traces why an instrument built well into the Baroque era still sounds, to organ historians, like an echo of the Renaissance it should have left behind. The church still fills with music each summer, during the city's festival season.
