Capuchin Monastery Olomouc, Baroque monastery in Olomouc, Czech Republic

The Capuchin Monastery includes the main building with a southern wing, a church, gardens, and two sections of boundary walls.

Cardinal Bishop František Dietrichstein invited the Capuchins to Olomouc in 1614, establishing their first monastery outside the city walls.

The monastery follows architectural principles of simplicity established by Capuchin Brother Antonio from Pordenone in the early 17th century.

The monastery provides accommodations for university students and maintains regular religious services with seven resident monks.

The complex housed the first Serafine school in Czech lands, opened in 1894, and later transformed into an institute called Serafikum.
