"The whole building expresses the symbolism of the trinity, which is evident from the front entrance that leads into Spálená Street. It has three entrance portals and three windows above them. Right of the front is a statue of St John of Nepomuk in Cubist wall, on the left behind a semicircular gate there is a copy of the statue of St Jude Thaddeus by academic sculptor Jirí Novák.
The church is three-aisled with a dome over the main tower, each nave is divided into three fields. The vaults are decorated with paintings of Antonín Schlachter, the main altarpiece of the Holy Trinity is by A. Maulbertsch.
In 1980´s the church was in a very dilapidated condition and its demolition was considered. In 1990´s fortunately a gradual reconstruction of the truss and the roof started, followed by the facades. Painted decorations were restored by Mr and Mrs Slavík. Reconstruction was completed in 2004."
