Church of St. Thomas

Church of St. Thomas is a house of worship on Moravské Square that combines both Gothic and Baroque architectural styles. The interior features soaring vaulted ceilings and ornate decorative elements throughout.

Construction began in 1352 under Giovanni Enrico of Luxembourg and the consecration took place in 1356 in the presence of King Charles IV. This early foundation established it as an important religious center in medieval Brno.

The church houses artworks from different periods and serves as a performance space for concerts, blending its religious purpose with cultural events that draw locals and visitors. This dual use shows how sacred spaces remain active in city life.

The church is open during daytime hours and offers guided tours highlighting its architectural features. Regular services take place, so check opening times before your visit.

The church contains the burial sites of important medieval figures, including Giovanni Enrico and his son Jobst of Moravia. These tombs make it a significant memorial site connected to regional history.
