Dominican Monastery, 13th-century Dominican monastery in České Budějovice, Czech Republic
The monastery complex includes the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin Mary, Gothic cloisters, and a tower with a Baroque cupola.
King Ottokar II of Bohemia established the monastery in 1265, making it the first building constructed during the founding of České Budějovice.
The Gothic cloisters contain medieval wall paintings from 1378, depicting Emperor Charles IV and Wenceslaus IV under the protection of Virgin Mary.
The monastery houses an Artistic School for children since 1990, following previous uses by various institutions during the communist period.
Five Baroque statues in the monastery garden were created by sculptor Josef Dietrich, who used his own likeness for the statue of St Joseph.
Location: České Budějovice 1
