The depicted oval coat of arms, which you can find above door of one of Baroque buidings of the Brno Diocese Office, belongs to Benedictine provostship (Prevorství benediktinu).
This interesting oval CoA you can find as a part of two-shield CoA of several Benedictine abbeys in Bohemia and Moravia. Nowadays we know that firstly was used by provosts of the most important Benedictine monastery in our country - by Brevnov Benedictine Archabbey of St. Adalbert and St. Margareth (Benediktinské arciopatství sv. Vojtecha a sv. Markéty). But you can also find this CoA in Benedictine abbeys in Rajhrad and Broumov - also for provostship... The complete, but not exactly depicted (classical shields), CoA of Brevnov Archabbey is located above this paragraph.
