Franciscan Monastery in Kadaň
Franciscan Monastery in Kadaň, Medieval monastery in Kadaň, Czech Republic
The Franciscan Monastery stands at the edge of Kadaň near the Ohře River, featuring Late Gothic architecture with ribbed vaulting and pointed windows.
Founded on January 17, 1401, the monastery developed into a provincial Franciscan school by 1522 before experiencing periods of religious changes and ownership transfers.
The monastery houses the Municipal Museum of Kadaň, displaying exhibits about monastic life and containing the family vault of the Lobkowicz dynasty.
The monument maintains regular opening hours for visitors who can explore the church, gardens, and museum collections through guided tours throughout the year.
The monastery contains rare diamond vaults in several rooms, an architectural feature uncommon in Bohemia, potentially connected to the Hasištejn family influence.
