Plasy, Historical municipality in Plzeň-North District, Czech Republic
The town of Plasy lies along the Střela River, featuring a prominent monastery complex with Baroque architecture and extensive surrounding gardens at 350 meters elevation.
Prince Vladislav II established the Plasy Monastery in 1144, which later expanded its influence to encompass fifty surrounding villages during King Wenceslaus I reign.
The monastery buildings display architectural elements by Jan Blažej Santini Aichel, including ceiling frescoes by Jakub Pink depicting religious scenes and Biblical narratives.
The monastery complex offers guided tours through its buildings, including the Church of the Assumption, Baroque granary, and Royal Chapel, accessible via railway from Plzeň.
The monastery foundation rests on an intricate water system with oak piles designed to manage the swampy terrain near the Střela River.
