The Synagogue in Ivančice is an Ashkenazi synagogue completed in 1853 by architect Lorenz Wagner.
The Benedictine monastery in Rajhrad was founded according to tradition in 1045, making it the oldest monastic-type foundation in Moravia. The present monastic complex dates back to the 18th century, it was built between 1721 and 1746 according to the plans of the architect Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel; however, its project was not completed. After being dissolved in 1950, the largely devastated monastery was taken over by the Benedictine order in 1990. Its entire complex with the Church of St. Peter and Paul is protected as a cultural monument and in 2005 the library became the basis of the new Memorial of Literature in Moravia.
The Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul is a national cultural monument, one of the most important architectural monuments of South Moravia and one of the most distinctive monuments of Brno. The building is a recent neo-Gothic reconstruction (1904-1909). Its baroque interior (mainly nave furnishings) is original.
