Church of the Assumption, Romanesque church building in Jihlava, Czech Republic.

The Church of the Assumption is a parish church built in the mid-13th century in a transitional Romanesque-Gothic style, with a Baroque facade added in the 1730s. Its elongated presbytery points south rather than east, and an octagonal brick bell tower rises above the crossing. The facade holds five statues in niches: the Virgin Mary at the top, Saints Bonaventure and Louis of Toulouse in the middle, and Saints Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Padua below.

The church arose with the Minorite monastery at the founding of Jihlava, probably around the middle of the 13th century; most perimeter walls and vaults date from that period. In the 1380s two chapels and an octagonal brick bell tower were added, around 1500 the presbytery was extended, and in the 1730s the church was baroquised with a new facade and entrance porch.

The church serves as an active place of worship for the local Catholic community and visitors can observe traditional religious practices during services. Its interior displays religious artworks that reflect the spiritual traditions maintained here over centuries.

The church is entered from Matky Boží street, where its facade is built into the surrounding houses; Minoritské náměstí adjoins the east side, near the Matky Boží gate of the medieval walls. The ground around the church was raised by 100–120 cm, so the floor sits below street level. Mass is celebrated daily.

The church is not oriented: its long presbytery points south, allegedly toward Assisi, the birthplace of St Francis. A wall painting of the 1402 attack on Jihlava, perhaps the oldest view of the town, hangs inside, and a large nativity scene is set up in the Chapel of the Sacred Heart from Advent to Candlemas.
