Sainte-Anne's Church

The Franciscan monastery at Kadaň can be traced back to a chapel first mentioned in 1469, to which the first Franciscans added a temporary building in 1473. In 1480, the three-nave church was consecrated. The church was the last resting place of the Lords of Lobkowicz. The growth of the monastery was slowed down by the Thirty Years' War. The restoration took place in the second half of the 17th century. During the Josephine reforms, the monastery narrowly escaped dissolution in 1785, but after a long decline, it was eventually given to the municipality in the 1990s. The monastery now houses the municipal museum of Kadaň.

South of Podbořany are the remains of a Jewish Cemetery with around 100 tombstones. The cemetery is surrounded by a stone wall, erected by the ESJF in December 2017.

Waldsassen Abbey is a Cistercian abbey founded in 1133 by Margrave Diepold III von Vohburg. It was burnt down during the War of the Landshut Succession (1503-1505) and rebuilt in 1517. When the Reformation led to the conversion of the inhabitants of the region to Protestantism, the abbey was secularised. However, the Cistercian monks of Fürstenfeld Abbey returned to the country in 1661. The abbey and its abbey church were consecrated in 1704 after being rebuilt in the Baroque style from the 1680s onwards. The famous library was completed in 1727. The abbey was abolished in 1803 and now houses a large part of the girls' secondary school (Realschule) run by the Cistercian sisters.
