St. Joseph's Church was originally a Roman Catholic church, part of a Franciscan monastery and, later, a monastery of Angelines. Its relatively austere Baroque building dates from 1651-1653. After the abolition of the monastery in 1782, it became a parish church. In 2009, the Greek Catholic Church recovered the church.
The Church of St. John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, commonly called the St. Johns' Church, is a Roman Catholic church built in the 13th century as part of a Minorite Monastery. The monastery complex, with the church and the Loreto chapel, is a listed cultural monument of the Czech Republic since 1958.
The church of the Founding of the Holy Cross, built between 1648 and 1656, is part of a Capuchin monastery in Brno. In the basement of the church, the Capuchin crypt contains the naturally mummified bodies of a hundred monks from the monastery.
