history

The monastery was founded in 1101 by the Benedictines . In the middle of the 13th century, the sacred building was replaced by an elongated three-aisled basilica with rose windows and a column portal hidden in the arched vestibule.

The Benedictine monastery with the church, which with its length of 100 m was one of the largest in Europe, experienced difficult times in its history. Under the Hussites , the church was partially destroyed, the Benedictines impoverished, so that renovation could not begin until the end of the 16th century. From 1298 the monastery was under the priests Briesau and Wollein . The Briesauer Propstei went out in 1427 during the Hussite Wars , the Propstei Wollein existed until 1466. Another catastrophe was the Thirty Years War .

The monastery church was restored from 1725 to 1737 according to plans by the architect Franz Maximilian Kaňka and from 1924 to 1935 by Kamil Hilbert .
