Church of Saint John the Baptist, Gothic church in Jihlava, Czech Republic

The Church of Saint John the Baptist features two prominent towers at the front, with the northern tower reaching 63 meters in height.

Following its establishment in 1256, Bishop Bruno von Schauenburg elevated the church to parish status after consecrating the completed presbytery in 1257.

The interior walls display medieval paintings, cross-ribbed vaults span the three aisles, and multiple Baroque altars enhance the sacred space.

The church maintains its position as a religious center within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brno, serving the local community of Jihlava.

The bell named Zuzana, cast in 1563, represents the collective contributions of local citizens who funded its creation for the church tower.
