Klášter augustiniánů kanovníků
Klášter augustiniánů kanovníků, Religious monastery in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic
The monastery features an octagonal church with a Gothic-Baroque fortification line descending along its southern section toward the Nusle Valley.
King Charles IV established the monastery in 1350, and construction began in 1351, with Archbishop Jan Očko z Vlašimi consecrating it in the presence of royalty.
The monastery complex now houses the Police Museum of the Czech Republic, displaying historical artifacts related to border protection and law enforcement.
The museum within the monastery opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, with guided tours available for visitors interested in its architecture.
The octagonal nave of the church remained without proper roofing until 1572, when workers finally installed a tent-shaped roof structure.
