P	Petr Kratochvíla on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wisiting the tower is definitely worth 50 Kč. You can even ring the bell by yourself.
P	Polgári Gábor on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice church. Little negative how nothing visitor service.
M	Michał Wilk on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A unique gothic church - really light (its stained-glass windows were destroyed during WW2). We were codrially greeted by an extremelly warm Czech custodian who encouraged us to climb to the top and see the belfry. The attraction was totally worth the price and our guide- Richard (who was fifteen years old) was incredibly charming and knowledgeable. He told us the history of the church and Brno. The view from the top was breathtaking!!! Totally recommendable!
G	Gretchen Woodman on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This will talk a relatively short period of time to see. It is fascinating and sad all at once. There is music that is playing softly from speakers to add a respectful tone to the presence of human bones. I had never experienced a place like this. The bones are arranged in various ways, and create patterns in columns and walls. You can buy tickets right at the location of the Ossuary at Saint Peter's Cathedral. Many people here died from Cholera and the Plague. As many as 50,000 skeletons are amassed here.
m	macedonboy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Church of St. James. The exterior of the church is very much High Gothic, but the interior seems to be a mix of Gothic and Baroque, though mostly the former. Most of the interior is painted white and purely from an aesthetics point of view, not all that interesting. The only standout art in the building is the high altar piece which is in the form of a Gothic style tower which sculptures of Christ on the Cross and Saint James. I did find an amusing sculpture on the exterior of the church though. It's a sculpture of a man is baring his naked backside in the direction of Saint Peter and Paul's Cathedral. Im told it's a joke by the masons in competition with the cathedral. It can be found high up above one of the windows on the south east side of the church.
S	Svetla Hristova on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful church with interesting history - listen to the guide in the church - he has a lot of stories and legend to tell you. Take the tour up the tower and you will see the unique two- ways staircase to the top.
M	M'hd Nasser on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful and historical church, but now they are doing renovation for the outer shell.
N	Naz Gol on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Church of Sto bene.James. Ilone of the best & must see in Brno. With the notable height & simplicity of roof in paradox with the sculptures & paintings on the ground & walls wich makes it more attractive. I arrived so early bc I had a bus to go to Prague, but I wanted to see this church. There were three other ladies wanted to get inside, they called the guard so he’d open the door of church. Such a warm welcome ☺️???
