 St.Peter & Paul cathedral in
Brno / Brünn by globetrott
The church dates back to the 12th century and was renovated several times.
Today it looks gothic outside and has mainly a baroque interior.
Unfortunately photography is forbidden INside the cathedral and also inside the Crypta.
But in my personal opinion this church somehow looks best from outside anyway, especially around the entrance-gate - see my next picture !! Leave a Comment Address: Brno / Brünn - Petrin HillDirections: St.Peter and Paul cathedral is built on Petrin Hill - you cannot miss it, as it is seen from almost any place in Brno / Brünn.

 a lovely building in Brno /
Brünn by globetrott
Simply take a walk and take your time looking at the great facades of the houses built at the end of the 19th century.
Many of these buildings were the town-palais of rich merchants and factory-owners, who wanted to show their financial success that way. Leave a Comment Directions: This is a building I saw in Minoritska, a street in the very centre of Brno / Brünn

 a great church in Brno by globetrott
The one on my picture is in Minoritska-street , just opposite of the great art-nouveau-building with the 2 big faces smiling down on the pedestrians.
The church looks less impressive from otside, but inside it is really beautifully decorated in Baroque style.
You may enter it and look through the glass-door only ! Leave a Comment Address: Brno / Brünn - MinoritskaDirections: Minoritska is one of the streets in the centre of Brno.

 NO escape, Mr.Bishop ! by globetrott
When you click on my picture, you will see a strange sculpture of a bishops-mitra and a few fingers only, and you get the impression, the bishop tries to climb out of the tomb again.
It looks really funny and is another great example of the very czech kind of humor... Leave a Comment Directions: This great tomb is just outside of the cathedral St.Peter and Paul

The cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul is the most noticeable landmark of Brno, sitting above the city on Pertov Hill. The cathedral dates back to the 12th century, although its style has been changed through time including Gothic, Baroque and neo-Gothic. Listen for the bells! The bells strike 12 at 11 o'clock. This is a reminder of the siege of Brno in 1645 by the Swedes. Having spent months attempting to break Brno, the Swedes decided on one last assault, but would retreat at twelve if the city had not been taken. The city discovered this and as the Swedes began to break through the city commander ordered the bells ring 12 (this was at 11). On hearing the noon struck the Swedes retreated and the city was saved.

 Red church by VeroaliLeave a Comment Address: Komenského náměstíDirections: Joštova street
|
The right name of this church is actually Komensky cathedral of the Czech brothers church, but nobody in Brno calls it different from Red church. It is one of the most known monuments in Brno, it can be found near the street Ceska, next to an important transfer node, next to the School of Medicine and to the constitutional court. There are regularly held choristers. The church is open only during the service. It was built from red fair-face bricks in so-called North-German Gothic in accordance with the plans of Heinrich von Ferstel. The corner-stone was placed on 7 September 1863 and the church was finished by the year 1867. A year before were casted and prepared three bells. The church is 45 meters long and its tower is 50 meters high. The interior is austere and simple, it is illuminated by the sunrays comming through coloured window glasses. One of the few decorations are carvings made by Franz Schonthaler. Leave a Comment Address: Jostova street, near Komenskeho square

All the building church with monastery is big complex. Unfortuntely it is not open for public, just the church when the mass takes place, every evening. It stand just next to the New town hall. Leave a Comment Directions: Next shopping centre Velký Špalíček

St James' Church (Kostel sv. Jakuba) was built during the 15th and 16th century. Unfortunately wars caused delay to many of Brno's buildings around this period. A part of the church was worked upon by A.Pilgram, who also did the portal at the Old Town Hall.
The tomb of the commander of Brno during the Swedish siege is within as are 16th century panels and reliefs. One of Brno's little legends can be found sitting above one of the gothic arches. The little man showing his bottom towards Petrov, is apparently due to the rivalry between the two churches, with Petrov causing the master builder at St James' to leave. The little man was his parting comment. Leave a Comment Address: Jakubska 11, 602 00 BrnoPhone: 5 42 213 835Directions: Go north from the central square Namesti svobody up Rasinova or Benounska.
