The church was frequented by Moravian estate-holders who held their sessions in the adjacent monastery. City development incorporated the new church into what was the fish market, so that its disposition was reversed and the building was entered from the east. Setting the church into a mild slope quickly caused problems; repairs included the construction of a terrace lined with statues. The church altars were decorated by leading Brno artists. The pulpit with sculpted fallen angels is particularly noteworthy. Sketches for some parts of the decoration have been preserved.
