This monastery was founded by Emperor Charles IV in 1347 as a rare Slavonic monastery with a non-Latin liturgy.
The monastery was rebuilt in the 1960s and the unusual winged concrete steeples were added.
Also known as Emaus (Emauzy), it contains one of the most precious collection of Gothic wall paintings (of scenes from the Old and New Testaments) in Europe.
