Church of the Finding of the True Cross
Church of the Finding of the True Cross, Baroque church at Kapucínské náměstí, Czech Republic
The Church of the Finding of the True Cross features a single nave structure with a straight chancel and two chapels along its eastern wall point.
The construction of this religious building took place between 1658 and 1666, following the destruction of the original monastery during the Swedish siege of Brno.
The high altar displays an altarpiece by Joachim von Sandrart, which represents the first Baroque painting in Moravia depicting the discovery of the Holy Cross.
Visitors can explore both the church's main hall and the underground crypt, where natural mummification processes have preserved the remains of monks and benefactors.
The monastery's library, completed in 1764, contains eight thousand items and maintains its original Baroque furniture alongside a ceiling fresco by Josef Stern.
