Kryštof Dientzenhofer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kryštof Dientzenhofer (also written as Christoph Dientzenhofer, July 7, 1655- June 10, 1722) - prominent architect of Bohemian Baroque. 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. He was a father of another Baroque architect, Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer and a member of the famous Dientzenhofer family of architects.
