Immerse yourself in the blessed silence of this Gothic basilica and soak in the sacred atmosphere of a structure whose vaults were filled with the organ music of Leoš Janáček. Admire the image of the Black Madonna, the tomb of the founder of the Old Brno Abbey, Elizabeth Richeza, or the contrast between the abstract stained-glass window and the Neo-Gothic furnishings.
Visit the museum's permanent exhibition Treasures of the Monastery. In the former dormitory of the Cistercian nuns there is a pinakothek of the Museum of the Old Brno Abbey. In the Cistercian chapel, which is vaulted with a Gothic eight-part rib vault, you will find a treasury with very rare abbey insignia and jewels, and in other rooms, for example, a rich collection of liturgical vessels and vestments.
