Augustinian monastery in Šternberk, Augustinian monastery and cultural monument in Šternberk, Czech Republic.

The Augustinian monastery in Šternberk stands on a hill beside the Church of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary. Its convent buildings, with a cloister and a former double-nave church, were built from 1372 and finished in the first half of the 1380s. The complex was rebuilt in late Gothic style between 1451 and 1461 and given a high Baroque form by Brno architect František Antonín Grimm by 1737.

The canonry was founded on 4 March 1371 by Albert of Šternberk, then Archbishop of Magdeburg and adviser to Emperor Charles IV, who brought fourteen canons from Roudnice nad Labem under provost Václav. The convent buildings and the double-nave Church of the Annunciation were finished in the early 1380s, and a second foundation in 1384 raised the number of canons to 25. Hussite troops burned the monastery in 1430; it was rebuilt in late Gothic style between 1451 and 1461, damaged again by the town fire of 1626, and remodelled in high Baroque form by Brno architect František Antonín Grimm up to 1737. It was dissolved in 1775, and the old church was soon demolished, replaced by a new building completed in 1783.

The monastery's musical life centred on the lay Confraternity of the Holy Trinity, active in the church from 1721 and running choral music; after it was dissolved, an archive of 162 volumes of liturgical music remained. The founder's portrait in the chapter hall was painted by Jan Kryštof Handke, who also frescoed the library hall in 1737.

The monastery has been undergoing reconstruction work since April 2019 to preserve its architectural elements and structure. Visitors should check in advance about which areas are open, as renovation work is ongoing.

The monastery library was documented from its foundation, when the founder donated eight rare manuscripts. A dedicated library hall was created in 1737 with frescoes by Johann Christoph Handke; at the dissolution in 1784 it held 1,178 volumes, mostly from the 17th and 18th centuries. The Sternberg Pontifical is now in the Strahov Monastery library in Prague.
