    The foundation stone of the parish church of the royal town of České Budějovice was laid in 1265, shortly after the town was founded. Around 1297, the main altar was consecrated and the church was opened, although it was not yet completed (the main building was probably only finished in the mid-14th century). Originally an early Gothic basilica, the church was almost completely destroyed in the great town fire of 1641. The subsequent restoration gave the church its present-day baroque appearance. St. Nicholas Cathedral is the main church of the Diocese of České Budějovice.

    The church was almost completely destroyed in the great fire of 1641. The new building, which was completed in 1649, was led by the Italian master builders J. Cipriani and F. Canevalle, who built the church in the baroque style. But already in 1686 it was rebuilt again. The Italian builder G.A. de Maggi redesigned the front facade to its current appearance. Since then, the cathedral has been renovated several times, but its appearance has remained the same.

    The cathedral was rebuilt in the late Gothic style between 1518 and 1535.
