Church of Saint Lawrence

The Church of Saint Lawrence is a three-aisled religious building displaying Gothic structural features combined with Baroque stone decorations. The structure includes tall windows, vaulted ceilings, and thick walls that have supported it through the centuries.

The building began in the early 13th century as a religious center for the area. Over time, Gothic and Baroque styles layered on top of each other as renovations reshaped the structure according to changing tastes and needs.

The interior reflects how people have worshipped here across different periods, with wooden carvings and decorations showing devotion over time. The craftsmanship visible on walls and altars tells the story of what mattered to those who came before.

The building sits in a neighborhood accessible by public bus from central Brno. Visitors should plan daytime visits when doors are unlocked and natural light streams through the windows to show the interior details.

An odd stone figure sits in the southern tower window gazing toward the larger cathedral in the city center. This medieval carving, known as Nehaňba, has watched from that spot for centuries.
