history

Old main street in the town center

In 1144, Vladislav II. And his wife Gertrud von Babenberg founded the Premonstratensian monastery Doksany . Farmsteads were built around the monastery and upstream on the island of St. The village of Mury, which was subordinate to the monastery, was located on the site of today's Kliment single-layer . In 1220 Ottokar I gave Přemysl Mury town rights. In the summer of 1421 the monastery was burned down by the Hussite priest and general Jan Želivský during a campaign through northern Bohemia.

In 1432 Mury was torn away by a flood of the Eger except for the church and two houses. After the destruction, its inhabitants built the new settlement Nové Dvory away from the river .

In 1498 the city of Doxan was transferred to the Meissnian margrave Wilhelm the Elder for 40,000 marks in silver according to Freiberg's weight . The monastery brewery was founded in 1726.

After the abolition of the monastery in the course of the Josephine reforms, it initially served as a hospital and barracks from 1782. Princess Teresa Poniatowski acquired the property in 1790 and had the monastery converted into Terespol Castle . In 1797, the Imperial and Royal Colonel and fortress commander of Theresienstadt, Jakob Wimmer, became the owner of the Doxan estate, who continued the renovation of the facilities. In 1804 Wimmer sold the castle and the surrounding property to Johann Anton Lexa von Aehrenthal. The grandson Alois Lexa von Aehrenthal tried in 1888 to revive Terespol Castle as the Doksany Monastery and to resettle Premonstratensian women.

After the end of the Second World War, the barons Lexa were expropriated and their castle and property were transferred to the state estate in Roudnice nad Labem . In 1946 the brewery was shut down. In 1998 the monastery was returned to the Roman Catholic Church.
