In a few sentences

In brief

Late Gothic and Baroque renovations present different stages of a single center.

Useful to know

Kutna Hora developed thanks to the silver mines. UNESCO highlights the late-Gothic "St. Varvara" and the cathedral in Sedlec, renovated according to the Baroque taste in the early 18th century. [1]

Before comparison, specify which of the two churches you are looking at. General economic history does not mean the same architectural period. Then include the living environment and the streets: the wealth of the mining city also manifests outside the monuments. This allows to connect production, public prestige and urban space without any decoration being presented as a direct symbol of a silver coin.
