Borovany Monastery, Religious monastery in Borovany, Czech Republic.

Borovany Monastery is a large building complex with stone walls, multiple courtyards, and a church displaying baroque architectural features. The structures show a mix of older and newer construction, reflecting different building phases across the centuries.

The monastery was founded in 1455 and served for a long time as a center of religious life in the region. Following its closure, it was converted into a castle in 1785 and took on different purposes afterward.

The monastery's coat of arms took the black-and-gold shield of founder Petr z Lindy with a green linden sprig. Since the 2010 reopening the grounds host monthly exhibitions and concerts, and an annual blueberry market; a blueberry garden with eight Canadian varieties was planted in 2013.

The complex stands between Nádražní street, Petra z Lindy street and Žižkovo náměstí in the town centre. The former prelature, rebuilt as a château, faces the entrance with the Schwarzenberg coat of arms above the doorway. The grounds hold a blueberry garden with eight Canadian varieties, a herb garden, a library named after provost Augustin Dubenský and a cinema hall.

The monastery's coat of arms kept the black-and-gold shield of founder Petr z Lindy with a green two-leaved linden sprig. One of the first canons, Jan Šťávka z Hodenic, was sent to the Augustinian monastery of San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro in Pavia to study canon law. In 1924 the traveller and Asian-art collector Joe Hloucha viewed the castle as a home for his collections, but the sale never happened.
