The Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola was originally built in Samuel Stubik's inn in Jihlava on Hluboka Street. It was used mainly due to the Swedish occupation, as the Jesuits could not afford a real church. Around 1670, however, the church fell into disrepair, so the Jesuits decided to build a new one, because services could no longer be held there. The construction of the new church was started in the years 1683 - 1689 by the Italian builder Jacopo Brascho, who was to develop a project and build the foundations of the chancel and sacristy under his own direction. The construction was financed by a doctor and a citizen of Jihlava, Petr Smilauer.
