The medieval town of Kutnà Hora which lies about 2 hrs away from Prague was the seat of Wensclas II's royal mint, producing Silver Groschen that were back then the hard currency of Central Europe. By 1260, German miners began to mine for silver in the mountain region, which they named Kuttenberg. The name of the mountain is said to have derived from the monks' cowls (the Kutten) or from the word mining (kutání in old Czech).
One of the Important monuments in this once rich Medieval city is the Gothic structured St. Barbaras Cathedral (chàrmu sv. Barbory) built by its mining community using sandstone from the nearby queries.
