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.
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. James was founded for German and Flemish settlers in the early 13th century. Originally a Romanesque church, it was rebuilt into a Gothic church (14th-16th centuries) and later reorganized in a neo-Gothic style (1870-1878). In 2001, an underground ossuary (the second biggest one in Europe) was discovered and is now open to the public.
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.
