Klášter obutých augustiniánů - Klášter obutých augustiniánů

The complex of the former Augustinian monastery, the Church of All Saints and the cloister with the Loreta chapel, was built by Albrecht of Wallenstein in the years 1627–1730. The construction was adversely affected by his death in Cheb in 1634. After the end of the Thirty Years' War, construction continued. The decisive period was the last decade of the 17th century, when the convent was completed. At the same time, to the west of it, the construction of the Loreto cloister with the Holy Hut began, completed by the buildings of the Holy Steps (1727) and the Chapel of the Holy Trinity (1730). To the south of the monastery grew an extensive garden, mostly utilitarian. In 1820, the church tower burned down and has been covered by a low tent roof ever since. In the past, the monastery housed a church school, which gradually developed into the present Grammar School in Česká Lípa, and there was also the District Archive of Česká Lípa. Today, the buildings of the former monastery are the seat of the Museum of National History and Gallery.
