Czech Jesuit History

The Jesuit Church and Monastery: built between 1693 and 1724, the church is today characterised by its dour and intimidating - yet nonetheless attractive - facade. Two towers at each end of the front jut above the street to give Skalica one of its signature features. Jesuits first came to Skalica in 1660 and two years later opened a secondary school. In 1773, however, they had their order annulled and left, clearing the way for the Paulist order to move in. Today the church is owned by the state. Link (here)
