Klášter Dolní Ročov, Augustinian monastery in Dolní Ročov, Czech Republic.

The monastery features a longitudinal nave with a transverse axis, large alcoves, and a central dome covering the square presbyterium.

Founded in 1373 by Albrecht z Kolovrat, the monastery suffered damage during the Hussite Wars and Saxon attacks in 1631.

The monastery contains a late 14th-century sandstone Madonna statue and preserves the Ročov Gradual manuscript with Czech chorale notation.

The monastery currently operates as a humanitarian aid warehouse while undergoing renovations for conversion into a senior care facility.

Architect Kilián Ignaz Dientzenhofer added two distinctive towers between 1735 and 1755, creating an unparalleled architectural design in the region.
