St. George's Convent, Monastery museum at Prague Castle, Czech Republic
The massive stone complex features two distinctive towers rising 41 meters above the Prague Castle grounds, with different floor plans and construction periods.
Founded in 976, St. George's Convent stands as the first women's monastery in Bohemia, established by Princess Mlada who became its first abbess.
The monastery holds tombs of the Premyslid dynasty members in its main nave, connecting the site directly to Czech royal heritage.
The monastery museum opens year-round with guided tours available, and visitors can reach it via tram stop Prague Castle, located 220 meters away.
The convent's scriptorium, established by Abbess Kunhuta, produced numerous illuminated manuscripts and spiritual texts during the medieval period.
