Dominican Brothers Monastery and Parish Office. In the cloisters there are occasional exhibitions and expositions dedicated to St. Zdislavě z Lemberka. Part of the tour is the refectory (dining room), where there is a cycle of 24 paintings painted on copper with scenes from the life of Mrs. Zdislava and her miraculous deeds. The monastery was founded by Mrs. Zdislava and her husband Havel of Lemberk in the middle of the 13th century. We do not know the form. Damaged during the Hussite wars and during the Thirty Years' War. Rebuilt into today's Baroque form at the end of the 17th century. It functioned as a monastery until the Josephine reforms, when the monastery was abolished and divided into two parts - one parish office and the other for the needs of the city. The Dominicans are returning after the end of World War II. war and take over the parish service. Action K (liquidation of male monasteries in 1950) again interrupted the activities of the Dominicans. For a short time, the Dominicans return in 1969, but their state approval is revoked. Returned again after 1989 and still works here. An interesting and long history of the place associated with St. Zdislava from Lemberk is worth studying and visiting this place. Possibility of accommodation by prior arrangement. The entrance portal is decorated with the emblems of the Dominicans and the Counts of Vrbno. Possibility to buy souvenirs at the box office. The box office is open only before the guided tour. The wait can be filled with a separate tour of the neighboring minor basilica. It is better to book in advance for guided tours.

The basilica is an extraordinarily beautiful Baroque building, an architectural gem. I recommend a tour to everyone.
