"The Church of Saint John of Nepomuk is a branch church of the Roman Catholic parish of St. Peter and Paul and a former monastery church of the Monastery of the Brothers of Mercy on Svatopluk Street in Prostějov.
The site of today's church was occupied by the Municipal Court, also called Schellenberg's. In 1733, the court was purchased by the Order of the Brothers of Charity with the contribution of the family of the princes of Liechtenstein. The court was surrounded by a garden, to which land was purchased for the future monastery cemetery. The brothers first built a temporary hospital and a small chapel. After further expansion in 1739 and the opening of the hospital, talk began about building a monastery church. The initiative for its construction was given by the prior P. Narcis Schön and the implementation was financially supported by the Lichtensteins. Princess Elizabeth donated 10,000 florins. Between 1751 and 1755, the Church of St. John of Nepomuk was built according to the designs of Antonio E. Martinelli. It was solemnly consecrated on October 5, 1755 by the consecrating bishop of Olomouc, Jan Karl Leopold of Scherffenberg. This is evidenced by the Latin inscription above the main entrance. Even after the consecration, work on the interior decoration continued. In 1756, the organ, oratory and side altar of St. John of God, the founder of the Order of Brothers of Mercy, were built. Only in 1766 was the decoration completed by Italian masters whose names have not been preserved. The vaults and walls of the church were painted with frescoes by František Antonín Sebastini, the sculptures are mainly the work of Josef Schubert and the carvings by František Hirnl.

On March 27, 1390, Prostějov was granted the right of the annual market thanks to the lords of Kravaře, which in fact became a town. In the Hussite period, the promising development slowed down as the city suffered delays on both sides; the insufficiently fortified Prostějov became easy prey for the troops of Margrave Albrecht and was burned down in 1431. The prosperity of the city was brought about by the establishment of the Jewish city and especially after a year 1490 more than a century-old government of the Pernštejn families, whose property became the town. In 1495, the city began the construction of stone walls with four gates with bastions. Between 1521 and 1538, the townspeople built a Renaissance town hall.
At the end of the 16th century, the city became the property of the Liechtensteins, which resulted in the stagnation of the city's development. In Prostejov the year 1527 printer Kaspar Aorga printed the first book on Moravia. During the Thirty Years' War, the town was devastated and in 1697 a fire broke out, killing the town hall, the school and the church. Then the city began to acquire a Baroque character.

In the 1960s, Prostějov was connected by rail with Brno and Olomouc. The 19th and 20th centuries changed the face of the city in the style of historicism and Art Nouveau. Since the 20s and especially 30s, dominating the construction becoming in Prostejov functionalism.

"An example of historicist architecture from the early 20th century, a dominant feature of the square, with well-preserved, stylistically uniform interior decoration and furnishings.
The construction of the new town hall according to the design of Karel Hugo Kepka was carried out between 1911 and 1914. The building has been continuously repaired since the time of construction.
The new town hall is a large two- to three-storey representative building dominating the terraced buildings on the western side of the square. The plot is elongated in a rectangular shape across the entire depth of the block, occupying approximately twice the width of the surrounding buildings. The building has an L-shaped ground plan, in the courtyard on the south side it is connected by ground-floor buildings with a meeting hall, boiler room and technical facilities, on the north side of the plot behind the courtyard wing there are two small ground-floor detached workshop buildings. The courtyard is enclosed by a brick plastered enclosure wall with a metal fence and gate. The main facade is relatively narrow, dominated by an asymmetrically situated prismatic tower with an astronomical clock and a clock face and a cylindrical superstructure topped by a dome with a lantern. The roofs of the main part facing the square and the courtyard wing are hipped, covered with sheet metal. The facade has 4 window axes to the left of the bay window protruding from the mass of the tower and 1 window axis to the right of the tower. On the ground floor to the left of the tower there is a monumental entrance flanked by half-columns, with a lintel decorated with a relief of the female figure of Justice, decorative fillings and a broken cornice. The rounded bay window on the tower body runs over the 2nd and 3rd floors and is finished with a balcony with a decorative metal railing. The tall windows in the bay window are separated by half-columns. The second bay window with a balcony and rich sculptural decoration stands out on the 2nd floor between the 2nd and 4th window axes. The tall windows of the main meeting hall are thus reflected on the facade. It is topped with a triangular pediment with the inscription: "SMALL TOWNS FLOURISH WITH CONFIDENCE / LARGE TOWNS FALL WITH CONFIDENCE". The gable is decorated with decorative vases and at the top is a sculpture of two eagles with a relief emblem of the city. All windows are distinctly vertically divided, the windows on the ground floor have decorative metal frames. The surface of the facade is covered with bossage. The sculptural and stucco work is by Čeňek Vosmík. On the ground floor on the right side between the windows is a memorial plaque to Matěj Rejesk, decorated with a high relief of the half-figure of the builder (movable monument reg. no. 012037). The courtyard facades are less decorative, but nevertheless architecturally divided by geometric shapes. The courtyard wing has a basement and 4 floors. On the west side there is a projection and an entrance staircase that are one floor lower, the facade is finished with a segmental gable. The west facade of the courtyard wing has 6 window axes, the south facade has 6 + 3 window axes. The west courtyard facade of the main wing has 3 window axes. In the corner between the main wing and the courtyard wing there is a columned portico of a quarter-circular plan supported by fluted columns, above it there is a terrace with a balustrade and vases continuing above the adjacent ground-floor part of the building on the eastern and southern sides of the courtyard. Through the ground-floor connecting part, a meeting room building is connected to the southern side of the courtyard with three large rectangular windows divided by a regular grid of small panes and with two entrances highlighted by massive pylons with lanterns and a gable roof. There is one three-part window between the entrances. The boiler room is connected to the building with the meeting room through another connecting element with two windows, a modern two-story building with a glass front wall." - info from the National Heritage Institute.
