Strahov Monastery
In one of the oldest districts of Prague - Hradčany, the Strahov Monastery is one of the earliest Christian buildings in Bohemia. The history of the monastery began in the 12th century, with the rise of the Premonstratensian religious order. Later it was rebuilt and changed the architectural style many times, and the monastery had more storerooms and barns than cells and temples because of the vast tracts of land where different crops were grown. Today, in addition to the monastery itself, the monastery includes a library, a museum and even a brewery, where many varieties of high quality beer have been made for several centuries.
