Vlach yard

Vlassky Dvur
Czech republic, Kutna Hora
The former royal mint, and now a national cultural monument, located in the Czech city of Kutná Hora. The history of the palace begins in the 14th century, when the royal mint was formed on the site of the fortified settlement by order of King Wenceslas II. The choice of the place was not accidental: here was the richest source of silver. Already under King Wenceslas IV, the place began to “overgrow” with buildings corresponding to the royal status. As a result, the Vlašsky court became one of the royal residences, which witnessed many historical events in Europe. Centuries later, the importance of the Vlach court began to decrease. However, a large-scale reconstruction in the New Gothic style, carried out in the 19th century, returned the “royal splendor” to the palace. Visitors are offered two tours to choose from - the history of coinage with a "live" demonstration, as well as a tour of the royal reception hall and the chapel.

The Wallachian court (or Italian) was originally (in the 13th century) just a fortress in a convenient place where silver was kept and coins were printed. A little later, coins are minted here. King Wenceslas II carried out a monetary reform aimed at creating a single coin in the state. The Italians were invited for this, hence the name "Wallachian". As a result, the fortress was rebuilt several times. There is a workshop for minting coins, and the royal residence and treasury. At the end of the 19th century, the local authorities reconstructed the Wallachian court, most interestingly the chapel.
