Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, Baroque church in Brno-město, Czech Republic

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary features a 67-meter interior length with triple monumental tracery windows and ribbed vaults reaching 22 meters high.

Queen Elizabeth Richeza initiated the construction of the church and adjacent Cistercian convent between 1323 and 1334, establishing a religious center in Brno.

The silver altar, created in Augsburg and installed in 1736 for the Black Madonna coronation, represents the church's religious significance in the region.

The church hosts annual pilgrimages on August 15 during the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady, bringing together local community members.

A four-meter statue of Father Martin Středa stands at the intersection of Jezuitská and Beethovenova streets in front of the church since 2020.
