Capuchin Monastery
A block from the main railroad station in Brno is the Capuchin Monastery and Church or Kapucínsky klášter. It is an old structure. The church is simple in design and execution. It has a salmon pink exterior and a whitewashed interior. There is sparse use of statuary and paintings. However, it is not for the architecture people come to visit the Monastery.
