A beautiful church. The overall reconstruction is still waiting for the repairs of the other buildings belonging to the monastery. Hopefully we'll see it sometime. I recommend to visit.

As part of a trip along the Ohře, I visited the monastery and took a guided tour. The Premonstratensian monastery received many blows in its history (fires, Hussites, commies, etc.) and the current state of some parts of the area (especially those owned by the state) also looks like that. However, a large part of the area has been renovated and the order of Premonstratensian sisters is active in the monastery. A brief tour of about 30 minutes includes the site, the church and the Romanesque crypt. The most impressive of these is the Baroque church. It is as if you were in the Premonstratensian Monastery in Strahov, at least in terms of the style of decoration (stucco and paintings). The altars in the transept are by Petr Brandl and the main altar as well, with another painting by Karel Škréta! For so many Brandls and Skrets in one place, you have to go to the National Gallery. The Romanesque crypt feels a bit neo-Romanesque because some components are after renovation, but it's still worth it. Fantastic place, a must see.

Interesting place. It's a shame that the area is in such poor condition. But the church is stunning...

Super place. Monastery under reconstruction. Large campus.

A beautiful monastery, unfortunately partly in a deplorable state after the times of the past. However, there is a great effort to restore it. Worth a visit.
