N	Natálie Karbašová on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Moc pěkná bazilika. Stojí za navštívení. Uvnitř se nachází mimo jiné i krásný model Zelené hory. Very nice basilica. Worth a visit. Inside there is, among other things, a beautiful model of the Green Mountain.
V	Vladimir Pecha on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nádherná a majestátní dominanta bývalého cisterciáckého konventního kostela tvořila jádru klášterního komplexu. Hlavní loď je druhou nejdelší chrámovou lodí na Moravě po Velehradě. Stavba kostela začala bezprostředně po založení kláštera roku 1252, základy byly slavnostně vysvěceny už v roce následujícím. V roce 1689 byla stavba poničena požárem, krátce poté započala její přestavba, zřejmě za účasti Giovanni Battisty di Angelo a po roce 1706 úprava interiéru ve stylu barokní gotiky samotným Santinim-Aichelem. V roce 2004 byl kostel vrácen zpět církvi, pět let nato byl povýšen na baziliku minor papežem Benediktem XVI. Tento titul patří jen patnácti významným kostelům v České republice, které jsou pod zvláštní patronací papeže. The magnificent and majestic landmark of the former Cistercian convent church was the core of the monastery complex. The nave is the 2nd longest in Moravia after Velehrad basilica. Construction of the church began immediately after the founding of the monastery in 1252, the foundations were solemnly consecrated already in the following year. In 1689 it was damaged by fire, shortly after its reconstruction began, probably with the participation of Giovanni Battista di Angelo and after 1706, followed by the interior reconstruction in the Baroque-Gothic style by Jan Santini-Aichel himself. In 2004, the object was returned to the church, five years later it was promoted to minor basilica by Pope Benedict XVI. This title belongs to only fifteen important churches in the Czech Republic, which are under the special patronage of the Pope.

K	Kateřina Eklová on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Impressive gothic-baroque church. Very nicely reconstructed.
V	Vincent Oliver on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The church was closed when we visited late afternoon in March however we could get a peep through the door. Impressive high arched ceiling and the ornate alter. Do appreciate the outside buildings and the old fish ponds next door. Ensure you visit the fascinating New Generation Museum next door too, to get a glimpse of the history of the area and the Abbot of Zdar and the Cistercian Order of Monks.
