From the window of the Old Council Chamber Count Thurn caused the Imperial Counsellors Martinitz and Slawata to be thrown an act which precipitated the Thirty years War.; The Carlsbücke 1357-1507- is 1620 ft long with a fine tower at each end - on one of them the heads of the Protestant nobles executed in 1621 were exposed. The bridge has 16 arches and is adorned with 30 statues and groups. From it St John of Nepomuc was thrown by order of Wenzel. St John of Nepomuc was the patron saint of Bohemia.
