The Black Tower is the work of the architect Antonín Salnellyn, who built it between 1547 and 1557. The tower, which dominates the entire city, is 81 m high, has 5 floors and was built in the late Gothic style from unplastered hewn blocks (hence the name The Black Tower).

The Roman Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception and St. Ignatius (Jesuit Church) was built from 1656 onwards on the initiative of the Jesuit order and with the support of noble patrons in the Baroque style. The first mass was celebrated in 1675, but the construction of the church extended over more than a century. Significant architects and artists such as Carlo Lurago, Giovanni Domenico Orsi, Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer, and Jan Hiebel contributed significantly to the design of the building. The church acquired its present appearance in 1817.
