VENIO-klášter benediktinek, Opatství Proměnění Páně

The Benedictine Monastery with the Church of Our Lady Victorious on the White Mountain has been newly reconstructed and is definitely worth a visit even during Coronavirus. when, unfortunately, the interiors are closed. It is an oasis of calm on the outskirts of the city, which can be reached from the final trams 22 and 25 in 3 minutes on foot. The mound of the Battle of the White Mountain and the Hvězda summer house are also nearby. So you have a pleasant walk in the afternoon.

The pilgrimage area with the Church of Our Lady Victorious was established in the years 1704-1730 by gradually expanding the chapel from 1622 with the ossuary. The project of the church dome, cloisters and corner chapels is the work of Jan Blažej Santini. The initiator and main representative of the community of benefactors, which provided funding for the construction, was the Hradčany painter Kristián Luna. Since 2007, a Benedictine convent with the international Venio community has been established near the church. It is interesting that the sisters dress in robes and veils only for devotion, otherwise they wear civilian clothes and work in their original professions. Entrance to the complex is possible during regular masses, Sunday 11:00 and Thursday 17:30 (during winter time at 16:30). It is usually open about an hour before Mass.

Place of pilgrimage MARIA VON SIEGE. Beautiful, not too crowded, many interesting paintings on the ceiling, next to it a small private garden where 1 family offers coffee (mom caffeine).

Beautiful place. Beautiful building and friendly staff in the local cafe. Definitely worth a visit. Good availability.
