Broumov Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Broumov, Czech Republic

The monastery features grand Baroque architecture designed by K. I. Dientzenhofer, with ornate frescoes decorating the refectory and Saint Adalbert Church.

Founded in 1322, the monastery served as a spiritual center for Benedictine monks who influenced the development of the Broumov region for centuries.

The monastery library holds 17,000 volumes of historical books, while the refectory displays a rare 1651 reproduction of the Turin Shroud.

The monastery complex includes a cafe, restaurant, educational center, and accommodations in renovated monk cells for overnight stays.

The wooden Church of the Virgin Mary in the monastery cemetery stands as one of Central Europe's oldest wooden religious structures.
