Hradisko Monastery, Benedictine turned Premonstratensian monastery in Olomouc, Czech Republic

Hradisko Monastery is a large religious compound in Olomouc arranged with multiple building wings around a central courtyard. The construction is protected by a surrounding moat and displays various architectural styles from Renaissance to Baroque periods.

Otto I of Olomouc and his wife Euphemia invited Benedictine monks from Břevnov in 1077, and Bishop Jan consecrated the oratory on 3 February 1078. Around 1150 the Benedictines were expelled and Premonstratensians took over. Joseph II abolished the monastery in 1784, and in 1802 it became a military hospital.

The name Hradisko comes from the Czech hradiště, a fortified hilltop settlement, and the monastery is nicknamed the Moravian Escorial. In the Church of St Stephen, a two-part reliquary found in 2017 holds the remains of Prince Otto I of Olomouc, his grandson Otto III and their wives, the monastery's founders.

The site is located in the northeastern part of the city and reachable by public transport. Visitors should note that access may be limited since the buildings serve a different purpose today.

In 2017, a two-part reliquary was found in the Church of St Stephen, holding the remains of Olomouc Přemyslid princes Otto I, a founder of the monastery, his grandson Otto III, and their wives. The church is the only one of the monastery's chapels kept in church use after 1802.
