Pauline Monastery, Religious building complex in Old Town, Prague, Czech Republic
The Pauline Monastery stands on the north side of Old Town Square, featuring a grand facade with sculptures created by Matěj Václav Jäckl in 1696.
The monastery began its existence in 1626 when the Pauline order received St. Salvator church, which had been taken from German Lutherans after the Battle of White Mountain.
The monastery's basement contains preserved Romanesque architectural elements that demonstrate the evolution of building techniques through different historical periods in Prague.
The building complex maintains its original structure and stands as the sole remaining edifice from the historical structures on the northern section of Old Town Square.
Sculptures on the facade portray St. Caspar de Bono, Archangel Raphael, the Guardian Angel, and Grazia Blessed from Valencia, with St. František from Paula in the central niche.
