Inside the cathedral, visitors can admire the intricate details of the stained-glass windows, the stunning vaulted ceilings, and the beautiful altarpiece. There are also several notable tombs and monuments inside the cathedral, including the tomb of Henry the Lion, a powerful ruler who played a pivotal role in the history of the area. Another famous monument is the bronze statue of John of Nepomuk, known as the 'water confessor,' who is said to have been thrown into the river by King Wenceslaus for refusing to reveal the queen's confession.
