The solidly built and well-preserved former monastery is now a museum that periodically shows interesting exhibitions. The former monastery church is now used as a parish church by the villagers. The monastery is definitely worth a detour for those traveling through, there is enough parking space.

Another church in my opinion. Specific, of course, the smell and atmosphere. For those coming by bike, beware of the steep uphill stretch.

We went to see the church on a rainy day. Unfortunately, the museum was closed and the monastery inn has been closed for years. You used to eat well here.

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
