Plasy Monastery, Cistercian monastery in Plasy, Czech Republic
The monastery complex contains numerous Baroque ceiling and wall frescoes, including two paintings by Czech master Karel Škréta within its stone walls.
Prince Vladislav II established the monastery in 1144, which experienced destruction during the Hussite Wars in 1421 before undergoing Baroque transformation in the 18th century.
The Chapter Hall, rising 27 meters high, features extraordinary acoustics with a nine-second echo when striking wooden benches, serving as a venue for monk ceremonies.
The monastery offers guided tours through select rooms, displaying historical exhibits including three distinct pharmacy sections from different architectural periods.
The building rests on an elaborate water pressure system designed by Santini Aichel, utilizing two foundation water basins to prevent flooding in the swampy terrain.
