Church of Our Lady of the Snow (Kostel Panny Marie Sně̀né in Czech) is a beautiful Gothic church in the New Town, at Jungmannovo náměstí. The church of Our Lady of the Snow has the highest nave of all churches in Prague and in the Czech Republic. Its height is 39 metres from the floor to the vault. In fact the current church is only a presbytery of the originally intended church, which would be over 100 metres long with even higher vault (40 metres). It was intended as the Coronation church and if it had been completed, it would compete in greatness and splendour with Saint Vitus Cathedral.
