Basic information
This church was built in the style of Neoclassical Modernism. The simple exterior of the church contrasts with its rich decoration. In 1925 the Church Union approached the architect Ladislav Skřivánek, who developed an architectural and urban project. The project was processed by the architect and developer Josef Šálek from Brno, who had won in an anonymous competition. Building commenced on 16.September 1929 and was completed in 1932. The construction was carried out by contractors Jindřich Kylián and Tomáš Šipka.
The tower is 65 m high while the cross on top of the tower is 8 m long, and the bronze statue of St. Cyril and Methodius on the forefront of the tower is 4.5 meters high. Julius Pelikan has created sculptures in stone, wood and metal: the bronze sculpture of St. Cyril and Methodius, the statues on the side altars, statues in the Chapel of Virgin Mary, a relief on the baptismal font and a relief on the pulpit. The organ with thirty registers was made by the Rieger brothers. In the crypt of the church, there is the tomb of Archbishop Prečan, who was responsible for having the church built.
