Saint Wenceslas Cathedral in Olomouc was founded in 1107 and consecrated on June 30, 1131. The article names no architect of the original. It began in the Romanesque style and was modified extensively in the Gothic style in the 13th and 14th centuries. Gustav Meretta and R. Völkel designed the Gothic Revival changes of 1883 to 1892. The infobox lists Gothic, while the lead calls it a neogothic cathedral.
The southern tower is 330 feet (100.65 m) tall, the tallest church tower in Moravia and second tallest in the Czech Republic. The article says three towers form the cathedral, though it also places the central tower in the 1883 to 1892 works.
King Wenceslaus III was murdered in a nearby house of the former cathedral dean on August 4, 1306. The cathedral was restored from 2004 to 2007.
