Klášter bosých karmelitánek, Carmelite convent in Hradčany, Prague, Czech Republic

The Barefoot Carmelite Convent is a religious building in Prague's Hradčany district, characterized by monastic architecture and simple interior spaces. The structure includes a chapel, cloister, and living quarters for the community, as was typical for religious orders of its period.

The site was the house of poet Bohuslav Hasištejnský z Lobkovic, given to the Barnabites in 1626; they built their convent there in 1655. Joseph II abolished it in 1786, and Leopold II handed it to the Barefoot Carmelite nuns in 1792. In 1950 the communist regime cleared the convent and rebuilt it as a hotel for officials.

The convent church is dedicated to Saint Benedict and has served as Hradčany's parish church since at least 1353. Regular services there remain open to the public, and the complex now runs as the Fortna spiritual centre, which the Barefoot Carmelites opened to visitors from 2020.

The convent stands on the south-western side of Hradčanské náměstí, and the church of St Benedict inside the complex holds regular services open to the public. Since spring 2020 the Barefoot Carmelites have been turning the buildings into the Fortna spiritual centre, so parts of the grounds are open to visitors rather than closed.

The convent holds official status as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, documenting the Carmelites' importance in Prague's religious history. This recognition makes it a protected site where its architectural details and spiritual heritage are preserved for future generations.
