Chotěšov Abbey, Medieval monastery in Chotěšov, Czech Republic

The monastery features Baroque architecture with a central courtyard, twin towers, and extensive grounds covering multiple buildings within its complex.

Founded in 1202 by Blessed Hroznata with his sister Vojslava as first abbess, the monastery served as a Premonstratensian nunnery for religious women.

The monastery underwent major architectural changes between 1737 and 1756 under architect Jakub Auguston, transforming it into a Baroque religious center.

Visitors can explore the monastery grounds daily through guided tours, with the site hosting regular cultural events and exhibitions throughout the year.

The monastery suffered multiple destructions during religious conflicts but was rebuilt each time, including after attacks by Hussite forces in 1421.
