Františkánský klášter Hostinné, Franciscan monastery in Hostinné, Czech Republic.

The Franciscan monastery in Hostinné stands southeast outside the town walls beyond a stream. It comprises the early Baroque Church of St. Francis Seraphic, a single-storey convent around a cloister garden, and a perimeter wall with former tombs. The church has two naves and a hipped roof with an ornamental gable; its southeast nave preserves much of the older Renaissance cemetery church, and a portal bears the date 1598.

Vilém Lamboy, who acquired Hostinné in 1635, sought a religious order for the town; the Franciscans arrived on 23 November 1666 and received the Holy Trinity cemetery church in 1674. Martin Reiner of Prague's New Town began the monastery in 1677, but lack of funds halted work until 1680, when Reiner died and his foreman Wolfgang Dientzenhofer took over. Construction resumed in 1683, monks moved into the unfinished convent on 8 August 1684, and the building was completed in 1687.

The complex houses a gallery displaying plaster casts of classical sculptures from Prague University, showing how art and faith coexist within these walls. Visitors walk through rooms where ancient works sit alongside religious spaces, creating an unusual cultural mix.

Parking is available directly at the site, and the complex also houses the municipal library within its historic spaces. Visitors can easily reach the location by car and explore additional functions within the same grounds.

The convent is the only surviving work by Wolfgang Dientzenhofer, who took over the building site after Martin Reiner died in 1680. In the southeast nave of the church, much of the older Renaissance cemetery church is preserved, and a portal in the right window axis bears the date 1598.
