Strahov Monastery is one of the oldest monasteries of the Order of Premonstratensian Monks. It was founded in 1140-1143 by Vladislav II on the initiative of the Bishop of Olomouc Jindř ich Zdik. The name of the monastery has its roots in the word "guard", as it was in this place that the outpost was located, which guarded the approaches to the Prague Castle. Proximity to the center of Prague led to his participation in almost all historical events in medieval Prague: the Hussite Wars, the Thirty Years' War, the shelling and destruction of the monastery by French troops who dug in the monastery garden in 1742, the storming of Prague by the Prussian army.

Inspection of the monastery is included in the sightseeing tour. The observation deck offers a beautiful view of Charles Bridge and Stare Mesto. It was not possible to get into the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, the gallery and the museum, since the latter won in a difficult and unequal struggle between meju with high art and base pleasures. And we went to try the famous monastery Christmas beer. Special beers that are brewed only for Christmas. I hope art will win next time : )
