- duhozBeroun, Czech Republic7,236 contributionsWe visited all the 3 tours currently offered to see the Santini’s masterpiece, The most important rebuilding took place in the Baroque period by architect was Jan Blažej Santini Aichel. You to the meditation chapel of St. Bernard, the Capitular Hall, and visit the hospital wing, where you can see toilets with the direct flushing to a canal of the Střela River. During the tour you can admire nice Baroque frescoes. The every hour guided tour is in the Czech language but the texts in English or German available Convent fee for adult 160.- CZK. But we started the tour in Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary with a small tour before the mass which starts at 11:00 on Sunday with the entrance otherwise the tours stats every quarter of an hour from the ticket office in the convent (100,- CZK) no online tickets, just direct purchase. You can see nice baroque altars, pulpit, confessional, organ and paintings by painters Karel Škréta, Petr Brandl and others. Again the guided tour in the Czech language with the texts in English or German.
The real highlight was as was the water system tour, which is exclusive tour for which you have to buy the ticket online but only for scare terms and limited number of visitors (up to 15) although the tour can be ordered for groups with a minimum number of 10 people. During the tour you will see the result sophistication of Baroque engineering. As the grounds are on very unstable marshy subsoil. the building was built upon 5,100 oak piles to which were surrounded with water to preserve this wood in its foundations and the stable water level must be maintained. You will also learn about an air system which helps to reduce humidity and heat the building. During the tour you can pass through some of the underground air corridors where you have to be equipped with a helmet, take a torch. Be prepared fort confined spaces and possible anxiety. You can see a little bit from this tour while visiting the Convent tour.
Parking available just near the entrance, you can also walk around the city or visit Chancellor Metternich's tomb. You can easily spend all day here. I recommend to visit another nearby Baroque masterpiece work from Santini Matianska Tynice which used to be connected to Plasy monastery (10 KM away, or 5 KM on the bike).Written August 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's ginormous. It would appear that iron gates are a regular thing in the churches here.Written December 23, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Janka KBrno, Czech Republic8,464 contributionsSincerely, this is the best Jewish museum that I have ever attended. For the first time in my life I was actually learning something new about Judaism. Not being Jew myself, I would like to learn more to understand and to pay some respect to the religion and culture. Jedaism being a closed community, I often have a feeling at various Jewish museums that the information offered to me is being reduced or limited to a base minimum. I didn't have that feeling here. Rather that that, I got an impression that someone wants to make me understand.
At this place there was so much information about different topics coming form both daily life of Jews, and from some special occasions, such as funeral, some holidays, etc.
The girl at the cash desk was also very nice and willing to answer my questions so I understand the basics or I get more concrete answers to some of the topics.This probably creates a big part of my good feeling and positive experience from this place.
Make some time for this museum. I strongly recommend to visit it. And I can just hope that you will have the same experience that I had.Written September 6, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
