Church of Blessed Maria Restituta, Roman Catholic church in Lesná, Czech Republic.
The Church of Blessed Maria Restituta is a concrete building with a circular floor plan and a separate tower connected by a footbridge. The tower houses a carillon system containing sixteen bells.
Pope Benedict XVI blessed the foundation stone in 2009 during his visit to Brno, and construction began in 2017. This marked a new beginning for the parish.
The facade displays symbols created by artist Petr Kvíčala representing creation, nature, and human activities through images of water, fire, and flowers. These artistic elements shape how the building looks and make it a place where spirituality and art come together.
The building is located on Nezvalova street in Brno and has parking available for visitors. Residential units are located beneath the main church structure.
The tower displays the Greek inscription FOS-ZOE, meaning light-life, and offers a public observation deck overlooking the city. From this vantage point visitors can see across Brno.
