During a visit to the New Town Hall it is impossible to miss the convent church of the former Dominican monastery, famous as St. Michael's church. It was built in 1228-1238 and the Moravia margrave Přemysl founded the Dominican order here in the first half of the l3th century. The dilapidated medieval church was destroyed when the Swedes besieged Bmo. The Baroque restoration by the architect Jan Křtitel Erna dates from the 17th century (consecrated in 1679). A peculiarity is the direction of the church with its two impressive front towers facing south.
