Augustiner-Chorherrenstift Fulnek, Medieval monastery in Fulnek, Czech Republic

Augustiner-Chorherrenstift Fulnek is a medieval monastery complex featuring Gothic and Baroque architectural elements organized around a central church with multiple surrounding buildings. The site displays the typical layout of a canons' foundation with religious and residential spaces, though some sections are currently undergoing restoration work.

Beneš III of Krawarn founded the canonry on 29 September 1389 for the salvation of his father Drslav, his mother Eliška of Sternberg and his uncle Jan. Bishop Nicholas of Riesenburg confirmed the charter at Mírov on 16 October 1389 and granted the canons the parish church, rededicated to the Holy Trinity. Hussite raids damaged the house in 1426/27; a fire on 28 August 1695 destroyed the church and convent buildings, rebuilt under provost Kasimir Johann Barwig (1747–1760). Emperor Joseph II dissolved the foundation on 21 September 1784, when twelve canons still lived there.

The canons served the parish church of Fulnek, which became the chapter church of the Holy Trinity, and the provosts had to be confirmed by the Olomouc bishop as parish priests. The foundation also ran a school whose rector the convent had to support, and in 1407 Anežka of Šternberk established the All Saints hospital, a home for the old and infirm, by the school.

The site is accessible only by advance reservation and guided tour, as many areas are undergoing restoration. Visitors should expect that some sections may have limited access and opening times may vary based on ongoing preservation work.

After the monastery was dissolved on 21 September 1784, its twelve canons were sent as parish priests to the former monastic villages of Petersdorf, Altdorf, Bielau, Tyrn and Luck. The entire monastic estate passed to the Religious Fund, which turned it into a state estate administered from Luck, where a parish, rectory and school were set up in the manorial buildings.
