context_page_description: The Saint Giles Church is located in the centre of the town of Nymburk on the Kostelní náměstí. The church was built probably in the 13th century, as well as the surrounding town, however, there are no preserved sources confirming its origins. The church is a three nave basilica with a long chancel and a tower in the front. The temple is an example of brick Gothic architecture, except of a few parts which are made from sandstone. Its thin tower reaches 66 meters and together with mediaeval ramparts creates a characteristic silhouette of the town. The dean's church was initially dedicated to St. Nicolas, during the Thirty Years War the dedication changed to St. Giles. The church is a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
