Plečnik

Just an aside, this church at Jiřího z Poděbrad was designed by one of my favorite architects Josip Plečnik. Ever been to Ljubljana? His work is everywhere in that city. Cool dude old Plečnik. He was Slovenian but in the early 20th century he was Dean of Architecture at Charle's University and was hired by Masaryk to reconstruct the castle when Czechoslovakia was formed. You can see his signature design elements all over the castle to this day.
