Capuchin monastery, Baroque monastery in Brno, Czech Republic

The Capuchin Monastery features a church with a single nave, straight chancel, and two chapels dedicated to Saint Francis and Saint Fidelius.

Cardinal Dietrichstein invited the Capuchin order to Brno in 1604, leading to the construction of the first monastery near Menínská brána Gate.

The monastery library houses a collection of books and a ceiling painting depicting John Bonaventura in discussion with Thomas Aquinas.

Located at Kapucínské náměstí 303/5 in central Brno, the monastery stands near the main railway station and multiple public transit connections.

The underground crypt contains naturally preserved mummified remains of monks and Baron Trenck, maintained by a specific ventilation system through church pillars.
