After Alliprandi's death, František Maxmilián Kaňka took over the completion of the church. The church burned down four times in its history, was closed after 1968 and gradually fell into disrepair. In 2011-2015 the building underwent a complete reconstruction. The church was literally brought back to life. A new exhibition Angels on the hill and a beautiful view of the city were created in the church. Today, the church is not only a spiritual place of contemplation, but also an exhibition of religious art and a cultural hall at the same time. The space of the temple is complemented by contemporary art installations from the workshop of the author duo Václav Cigler and Michal Motyčka.
