Hrbitovní kostel sv. Vojtecha stojí v míste slovanské osady, která vznikla ve 12. století pri brodu na Haberské stezce spojující Cechy na Moravu. Dnešní kostel stojí na míste dnes starší gotické stavby z 13. století, který byl nejstarším kostelem ve meste. Soucasný kostel je renesancní s pozdne gotickými prvky. Poprvé je uváden roku 1538. Hrbitov u kostela je zminován na konci 16. století. Behem dalších let byl kostel zvýšen a interiér zaklenut renesancní žebrovou hvezdicovou klenbou, byla pristavena severní sín s patrem a orator v lodi. Z této doby rovnež pocházejí fresky, v nedávné dobe restaurované. Kolem kostela je tzv. starý hrbitov. Vstupní renesancní brána s mestským znakem je datována 1617. Po roce 1783 se stal hlavním mestským hrbitovem. Pohrbívalo se na nem do roku 1961.
