The early Baroque church of St. Ignatius of Loyola stands on náměstí 1. máje as part of a large Jesuit complex. It was designed by Italian architect Carlo Lurago and built between 1663 and 1668. After the Jesuit order was dissolved in 1773, the church served as a garrison chapel; it fell into disrepair after 1948 and only reopened following a restoration in the 1990s. Today it is managed by the Chomutovská knihovna and hosts exhibitions, concerts and guided tours. It has been a listed cultural monument since 1958.
