Church of Saint Mary Magdalene
Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, Baroque church in Brno-město, Czech Republic
The Church of Saint Mary Magdalene features a rectangular chancel with a single-nave longitudinal structure and carries statues on its western facade.
Built between 1651 and 1654 by Ondřej Erna, this church replaced a Jewish synagogue following the expulsion of Jews from Brno in 1454.
The church contains relocated statues of Saint Nicholas of Myra and Saint Martin of Tours, created by Brno sculptor Ondřej Schweigl around 1760.
The building maintains its religious functions while welcoming visitors interested in exploring the architectural elements of Czech Baroque religious structures.
Archaeological research revealed parts of the original synagogue's northern wall beneath the current church structure, preserving evidence of its Jewish heritage.
