The Church of St. Thomas is actually much older than it looks. The Baroque facades on it now are just that, facades, that were installed in the 17th Century to hide battle damage from the Thirty Years War. The original foundation (and presumably structure) of the church dates to 1356, having been consecrated in the presence of Holy Roman Emperor Karluv IV, although the church had been planned under his father, John of Luxembourg. Today the church is next to the entrance to Brno's system of catacombs.
