Zbraslav Monastery, Cistercian monastery in Praha-Zbraslav, Czech Republic.

The monastery presents a combination of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture, with stone walls rising along the banks of the Vltava River.

King Wenceslaus II of Bohemia established this monastery in 1292, which later became a burial site for the last members of the Přemyslid dynasty.

The Madonna of Zbraslav, created in the 1340s, represents one of the most important Gothic paintings from medieval Bohemia preserved within the monastery.

Located at coordinates 49.977917, 14.391944, visitors can reach the monastery through Prague's public transportation system from the city center.

Peter of Zittau, a notable abbot who died in 1339, wrote the Zbraslav Chronicle within these walls, documenting early 14th-century Bohemian history.
