Peter Parler was born around 1330 in Schwäbisch Gmünd and died on July 13, 1399, in Prague. He was a human and a citizen of the Holy Roman Empire. He is recognized as an architect associated with Gothic architecture.
Parler’s work is prominently linked to several significant structures in Prague, including the Church of Our Lady before Týn, the Old Town Bridge Tower, the Frauenkirche, and Charles Bridge. While his involvement with St. Vitus Cathedral is disputed, he left a notable mark on the city’s architectural landscape.
Beyond architecture, Parler’s potential occupations have been described as sculptor, general contractor, and carver, although these associations remain debated.
