In 1720 the abbot of the monastery in Žďár founded the pilgrimage Church on Zelená Hora (the Green Mountain) in order to commemorate the Czech martyr and the saint Jan Nepomucký. According to the legend crown with five stars appeared above his head. That was the reason why architect Giovanni B. Santini used the symbol of pentagram for the building in the Baroque- Gothic style – the ground plan has the shape of the star and the church has five exits, on the main altar there are five stars and five angels. The altar depicts the martyr carried by the angels to the Heaven. The side altars are devoted to the four Evangelists. The dome is decorated with the monumental tongue of the saint (the symbol of St. Jan Nepomucký) in the fire ring.
