Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary

The Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary is a neo-Gothic parish church built in 1895-1898. The church was built with the support of John II, Prince of Liechtenstein (1858-1929), under the direction of the architect Karel Weinbrenner. As a model for the construction of the church, Weinbrenner chose the Viennese Church of Our Lady of Victory by the architect Friedrich Schmidt.

Old Upper Synagogue

The Old Upper Synagogue in Mikulov was constructed in the mid 16th century and expanded in 1689. It was designed in a baroque style after fires in the early 1700s. Following World War II the building deteriorated. From 2010 to 2014 the synagogue was restored as part of the “10 Stars” project for the revitalization of Jewish monuments in the Czech Republic.
