The cloister in Broumov charmed us with its wonderful interiors and noteworthy history. The history of this Benedictine cloister reaches as far back as the beginning of the 13th century. Its imposing construction, however, wasn’t completed until the 17th century, when the Italian master builder Martin Allio of Löwenthal implemented the Baroque style.
Today, the cloister’s appearance is the work of architect K. I. Dientzenhofer.
Broumov Monastery is a welcoming place for education, art, dialogue, encounters and collaboration. It inspires visitors not only through tours of its monumental Czech Baroque architecture, but also through its vibrant cultural programme. The historic complex is home to the Broumov Educational and Cultural Centre – a European institution fostering creativity, self-confidence and tolerance.
The monastery grounds include a freely accessible garden, Café Dientzenhofer, the U Tří růží restaurant, the Lapidárium Children’s Gallery and the Dům Gallery, located in the monastery garden. Visitors can also stay directly within the Baroque complex, in the renovated monks’ cells of the Guest House.
