Monastery of Minorits
Monastery of Minorits, Franciscan monastery in Brno, Czech Republic.
The Monastery of Minorits is located on Minoritská Street in central Brno and features a church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist. The complex displays typical medieval monastery architecture with stone facades, courtyards, and connected buildings that once housed the Franciscan community.
The monastery was founded in 1230 as a Franciscan house and became a significant religious center in medieval Moravia. It has survived wars, religious upheavals, and changing times, remaining continuously associated with monastic life through the centuries.
This monastery remains an active place of worship where the Franciscan community gathers daily for prayer and services. Visitors can experience how the space continues to serve its original spiritual purpose in the heart of the city.
The monastery is easily accessible in the city center and welcomes visitors to walk through its public spaces and courtyards. Checking ahead for service times is helpful, as attending a ceremony can enhance your visit with genuine experience.
The bell tower houses a collection of religious artworks spanning different centuries, including stone angel statues of particular artistic merit. These pieces reveal how artistic expression in sacred spaces evolved throughout the monastery's long existence.
