Lonely Planet review for Cathedral

Next to the tower is the 16th-century cathedral, formerly a Jesuit church. There are many impressive details to behold, including the Baroque trompe l’oeil frescoes (the work of Moravian artist Józef Majer) and the 17th-century altar made from a black Lebanese pear tree. The painting of the Black Madonna is said to have shed tears in 1945, making it a source of much reverence for local devotees. The acoustic vestry (so called for its ability to project whispers) and the treasury behind the chapel are also worth some attention.
