Minorite monastery in Český Krumlov, Gothic monastery in Český Krumlov, Czech Republic

The Minoritenkloster Krumau is a Gothic monastery complex in Český Krumlov featuring a church, two convents, and an enclosed garden. The site opens through a Baroque gateway on Klášterní Street, allowing visitors to explore its spatial layout.

The monastery was founded in 1350 by Katharina, widow of Peter I von Rosenberg, following the Prague Abbey of Saint Agnes as its model. Major renovations between 1649 and 1681 shaped its present appearance.

The church displays Gothic altars and 15th-century paintings depicting religious scenes. Visitors can observe the artistic interior that reflects multiple building periods.

The site underwent comprehensive restoration and reopened in 2015, so visitors can navigate well-maintained pathways. Visit in late morning or early afternoon when daylight best illuminates the interior spaces.

The Chapel of Saint Wolfgang was consecrated in 1491 and contains Rococo paintings depicting scenes from his life. These artworks were created by painter Jan Václav Tschöpper and display the craftsmanship of their era.
