Strahov Monastery in Prague

Strahov Monastery

The Strahov Monastery in Prague is a significant example of Baroque architecture and offers a fascinating insight into the history of the Cistercians. Founded in 1143, the monastery houses an impressive library with over 200,000 volumes and precious manuscripts dating back to the 12th century. The library's magnificent ceiling frescoes tell stories from science and philosophy, while the attention to detail in the interior design transports visitors back in time.

Another highlight is the monastery church, which impresses with its majestic altar and artistic stucco work. Here you can also visit the monastery brewery, where beer is still brewed according to a traditional recipe - ideal for a small taste.

Strahov Monastery is not only a place of spirituality, but also a cultural center that often offers events and concerts. A visit allows you to experience both the history and contemporary culture of the Czech Republic up close.
