Klášter hybernů, Franciscan monastery in New Town, Prague, Czech Republic
The monastery building combines early Baroque architecture with Empire style elements, featuring a restored chapel with intricate stucco decorations and glass walls.
Emperor Ferdinand II granted the property to Irish Franciscans in 1630, who introduced potato cultivation in their monastery garden after fleeing Britain.
The building transformed into a theater venue in the late 18th century, presenting Czech plays and utilizing the former temple structure as a performance stage.
The structure stands at Náměstí Republiky in Prague 1, accessible to visitors interested in exploring its architectural and historical features.
The monastery underwent multiple transformations, including serving as military quarters before becoming an exhibition hall during the First Republic period.
