The Benedictine monastery is listed in the Czech national cultural landmarks list for its architectural and cultural value. Today’s appearance is the result of the Baroque reconstruction from the designs of Kilian Ignac Dietzenhofer, carried out during the years 1726 – 1748. This monastery is undisputably exceptional because a replica of the Turin Shroud is on display there for a limited time, and visitors can see one of the oldest monastery libraries in the Czech republic there.
