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.

Strahov Monastery is an abbey of the Premonstratensian order founded in 1143. After a devastating fire in 1258, the entire complex was rebuilt within a few years. The Hussite wars of the 15th century, the Thirty Years' War and the War of Austrian Succession in 1741 caused further damage. The monastery is famous for its library dating from the 17th (theological room) and 18th century (philosophical room). It houses many unique specimens, prints, manuscripts, engravings and maps. One of the greatest treasures is the "Strahov Gospels", a manuscript from the 9th and 10th centuries.
