Mechanical nativity scene in Frýdlant v Čechách

This unique Christmas nativity scene was built by local builder Gustav Simon. This work, sixty years in the making, contains over 100 moving figures of persons and animals, controlled by small ropes. You can find the nativity scene close to T. G. Masaryk Square on Zahradní street by the post office parking lot. If the nativity scene operator is not there, just ring the doorbell marked “Betlém” on the house opposite, where you can arrange a visit to the nativity scene even outside its hours of operation.
