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. The chapel is painted in Art Nouveau style, as are the stained glass windows in St. Barbara's Cathedral. The altar is assembled from parts of old altars of the 15th century.

Now part of the Vlach court is occupied by the city hall, and the rest - the museum and gallery.

The tour turned out to be more interesting than I expected.
During the tour they showed models of the Vlach court in different periods, told about the history of Kutnaya Gora, the evolution of silver mining and coinage, looked at the chapel. You can take pictures anywhere except the chapel. The tour is quite interactive, you can go with children.
