is an impressive complex designed by K. I. Dientzenhofer, but the origins of the monastery date back to the beginning of the 13th century.
The Abbey (monastery) Church of St. Vojtěch, rebuilt from its original Gothic form into a Baroque church, or the sacristy with rare inlaid furniture. Do not forget to visit the famous local gymnasium, where the first Czech archbishop Arnošt of Pardubice, the patriot Bohuslav Balbín and the writer Alois Jirásek studied.
The monastery library has around 17,000 volumes of books.
In 1999, a unique copy of the Shroud of Turin from 1651 (a decal of the cloth in which the body of Jesus Christ was wrapped shortly after the crucifixion, after it was taken down from the cross) was found in a wooden box in the Abbey (monastery) Church of St. Vojtěch above the Chapel of the Holy Cross behind a gilded stucco wreath with the inscription Sancta Sindon. The Shroud was accompanied by a document which shows that the Shroud was given in 1651 by the Archbishop of Turin, Julius Caesar Bergiria, to the Abbot of St Nicholas in Prague's Old Town, Matúš Ferdinand Sobek of Bílenberk. During his lifetime he donated it to the Broumov monastery.
