St. Michael's Church is an important number of cultural heritage, and its history takes place in positive moments in its region.
The history of the church dates back to the 9th century, when a rotunda was found on the site of the current church with the first ancient construction techniques. This ancient building was built until the middle of the 13th century when it was replaced by a new hall church built by Cistercian monks from the monastery in Velehrad. The cistercians used broken rotunda material, which is reflected in the repeated use of Roman bricks. This new church was built in the style of late-romantic architecture and served as a parish centre also for Uherské Hradiště, whose St. George church to join as a filial one. The importance of St. Michael's skeleton is documented until the end of the 16th century.
Architecturally, the church went through several phases. The mere rotunda from the middle of the 9th century was built with the first ancient construction techniques and celebrated as the spiritual centre of Great Moravia. After the fall of the Great Moravia, which is a potential finding of Ota Slícý denár from the years 1061 - 1086, the rotunda was repaired and decorated with new cast mortar floors. In the 13th century, it was replaced by a new church provided by tankers, which used broken-down roton material. In 1645, the church was further encapsulated and destroyed by the Swedes. In 1734 it was restored and rebuilt to its present form.

The Hexagonal Chapel of St. John, which was originally created not deep before the reconstruction of the church in the 13th century, has architectural elements older than the church itself. At St. John's chapel, Roman bricks were not used, which is another proof of the complex history of the construction.

On a gently elevated terrace above the old riverbed of the Morava, in a location called Na Dědině, stands the Roman Catholic parish Church of Saint Michael the Archangel in Staré Město u Uherského Hradiště. It is surrounded by the old town cemetery. That cemetery cannot be practically studied archaeologically. For over eleven hundred years, the soil here has been turned over constantly by new burials, so all the layers are completely mixed together.
The survey of the church itself revealed much more. Beneath its floor, several undisturbed Great Moravian graves were found, as well as the foundations of a rotunda from the middle of the ninth century. Some elements of ancient construction techniques were applied in its construction. The rotunda survived the fall of Great Moravia, which is documented by the discovery of a denarius of Otto the Mild from the years 1061 to 1086. It received a new cast mortar floor, was decorated, and served until the thirteenth century.
Then it was replaced by a late Romanesque hall church with an elongated rectangular chancel. It was built by Cistercian monks from Velehrad. This dating is confirmed by clay tiles from the workshops of the Velehrad monastery. The monks used material from the demolished rotunda. In the church's masonry, therefore, one hundred six Roman bricks are found, which served here for the third time.
One encounters Roman bricks almost everywhere here, actually. About a thousand of them have been found so far, including fragments. They bear stamps of the Fourteenth Legion from Carnuntum as well as of a private producer from the same place. They probably come from the remains of a nearby Roman building, which has not yet been discovered.
An exception is the hexagonal Chapel of Saint John, where Roman bricks were not used. It probably arose not long before the church was rebuilt in the thirteenth century. Its architectural elements are more archaic and the masonry differs from the church in both nature and composition.
The importance of the Church of Saint Michael is evidenced by the fact that it was the parish church for Uherské Hradiště until the end of the sixteenth century. The Church of Saint George there belonged to it as a filial church, possibly because of the original significance of the place from the time of Velehrad.
Later the church was vaulted. In 1645 it was destroyed by the Swedes, and in 1734 it was restored and rebuilt. In this form it serves to this day.
