Description
The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Kladruby is a church building rising above the monastery and blending Gothic and Baroque architectural features. The structure displays a dome topped with a golden Marian crown and dominates the monastery grounds with its presence.
History
The monastery and church were founded in 1115 by Prince Vladislav I and later underwent major reconstruction. Between 1712 and 1726, architect Jan Santini Aichel directed significant rebuilding work that shaped its current appearance.
Culture
The church has hosted the Kladruby Summer Music Festival since 1977, with classical music performances held in its grand interior throughout warm months. These concerts take advantage of the space's acoustic qualities and draw music lovers from across the region.
Practical

The building was later repurposed as a residence for the Windischgrätz family, showing an unusual chapter beyond its religious function. This dual use remains visible in the room layouts and decoration today.
