It is colder in the monastery than outside, we recommend warm clothes!
The interior of the monastery and especially the church of St. Gabriela with its unique atmosphere (built in the shape of the letter L) is valued by experts as the oldest and most remarkable example of Beuron art in the world.
The Monastery of St. Gabriela belonged to the female Benedictine order of the Beuron Congregation. It was built for the sisters by the Beuron Benedictines from the Emmaus monastery on the opposite bank of the Vltava, who moved to Prague from Beuron in Germany (hence the name).
The exterior is built in a neo-Romanesque style, although there were proposals for a building in the Beuron "style". The built-up area of the monastery is about 5,000 m2.
Since 1891, when the church was dedicated to the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary, services are still held here.
Benedictine nuns (up to 130 sisters) lived in a cloister in the monastery buildings and prayed in a separate choir of the church. The public present during the services sat in the nave of the church.
During the guided tour, you will visit the normally inaccessible historical halls in the eastern part of the monastery from 1888–1891 (sash choir of sisters, chapter hall, garden of paradise, refectory, library and other places). throughout the monastery, they were mostly whitewashed, and in 2016 some were revealed using small probes.
In the interior of the church, the world-unique Beuron wall paintings are preserved, including the original furniture, which was taken to Austria after the dissolution of the monastery in 1918 and returned to Prague in 2008.
