Rajhrad Abbey

[2] Originally was established filial monastery of Břevnov Abbey in Prague, in fact as a chapter type of community.

In the 18th century, during the powerful renewal of the Catholic confession, the monastery was in good condition and was generously rebuilt in the Baroque style.

In particular, the convent church, designed by architect Jan Santini Aichel, is an excellent example of European Baroque architecture.

It has a traditional orientation (west-east) and is divided into three semi-autonomous halls, spatially and optically continuous.

Vaults and walls are covered with Baroque frescoes by the painter Johann Georg Etgens of Brno.
