We also visited the cathedral while we were in Olomouc, and the highlight of this was a demonstration of the late-19th Century electric pipe organ (with the original knob and tube wiring). Many people disliked the ornamentation of buildings, churches, organs, and so on during the 19th Century, but in hindsight industrial-era engineering combined with pre-industrial taste produced a much better result, I think, than anything has since.

One of several St. Vaclav's churches in Prague, this one is considered to be Neo-Rennaissance in style. This is my second attempt at photographing it, and this time I think I got the exposure more spot on since the light was better distributed on this day, with winter weather playing a role, I think. It's also my first attempt at photographing it in black and white.
