Church of St. Thomas
A former Augustinian monastery founded in 1350 by Margrave John Henry of Luxembourg, the brother of Emperor Charles IV. The monastery church was meant to serve as the posthumous monumental residence of Moravian rulers. The church suffered extensive damage during the Thirty Years’ War. The new, Baroque, three-aisled Church of St. Thomas was built in the years 1665-75. The new Late Baroque monastery complex was designed by Moric Grimm.
