Holy Family church

Holy Family Church is a Renaissance Revival church building with a symmetrical layout and classical proportions decorated with elements inspired by Roman and Greek traditions. The structure sits on Grohova Street 18 and belongs to the Monastery of the Merciful Sisters of Brno.

The church was built in the 19th century as part of a broader expansion of religious institutions in the region. It was constructed as a monastery church for the Merciful Sisters and reflects that era of institutional growth.

The building shows how Italian Renaissance forms and local Czech building styles came together during the 19th century. Visitors can see this mix directly in the proportions and details of the exterior.

The building is located on Grohova Street 18 in Veveří and is accessible during the week as it holds regular Catholic services. Visitors should know that some interior areas may be restricted depending on monastery activities.

The church maintains a direct connection with the adjoining monastery where the Sisters still live and work today. This active link between the church and the living community gives the place an ongoing sense of purpose.
