Church of St. Moritz
Kostel svatého Mořice
Olomouc's most important Gothic church, home to one of the largest organs in Central Europe, with a tower climb offering views over the old town.
St. Moritz Church was built in the 15th and 16th centuries. Its plain, heavy exterior looks like a fortress, while the interior features late Gothic net vaulting. The Engler organ, with roughly 10,000 pipes, is one of the largest in Central Europe, and an international organ festival is held here every September. You can climb the west tower's roughly 200 steps for views over the Upper Square and the Holy Trinity Column. Entry to the church is free, and the tower climb costs about 50 Czech koruna.
Opening hours
Approx. 07:00–18:00; tower climb open in summer
