Břevnov Monastery
The monastery of Břevnov is the second oldest monastic complex in Bohemia after the St. George's Women's Monastery located in Prague Castle. This Benedictine abbey was founded in 993 by Prince Boleslav II of Bohemia and St. Adalbert of Prague. At the beginning of the 14th century, the abbey was rebuilt. In 1420, during the crusades against the Hussites, the abbey was sacked by the Taborites and the surviving monks went into exile to the daughter abbey of Broumov. It was not until the 16th century that the monastery of Břevnov was reinvested.
