The Church of St. Nicolas in Prague

Christoph Dientzenhofer (Czech: Kryštof Dientzenhofer)( July 7,1655- June 10,1722) was a prominent architect of Bohemian Baroque. He was the father of Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer and a member of the famous Dientzenhofer family of architects.

Among his works are the Church of St. Nicholas (1703–11, later completed by his son) and the Brevnov Monastery (1708–21) in Prague, church of St. Klara in Cheb (1708 - 11). Some of his works are difficult to identificate, due to the lack of documentation.
