Zřícenina minoritského kláštera

Beautiful place ....

Cloudy but the sun enchanted ??❤️

Pleasantly preserved historical place I recommend a visit when visiting the city of Benešov, of course, see the rest of the city I can only recommend.

Well accessible and interesting remains of the monastery.

In the case of a visit to Benešov, it is definitely worth a visit. It doesn't take more than 5 minutes, but it's definitely a fascinating monument.

Absolutely unique historical monument. The ruins are monumental. The area is nicely decorated and there is a special atmosphere. When he finishes his work, he will be a luxurious place. We really liked it here. I recommend at least stopping everything. It is a short walk from the city center.

A beautiful ruin here in Benešov, who likes these monuments, goes to Benešov. And then you can visit Konopiště.

According to the chronicle of the Benešov Minorites, the Benešov Minorite Monastery was founded in 1247 by the rector of the Staroboleslav Chapter, Tobiash. It was Tobiash who had to dedicate the family residence of Benešovice to the new community, which was located near the watchtower on the modern Na Karlov street. In 1294, the monastery burned down during a major fire that engulfed almost the entire city of Benešov. After this tragic event, the successor of Tobias, the chapter of Milot of Dedice, ordered the reconstruction and expansion of the building of the monastery. At this time, a new refectory, a hostel for monks and a chapter hall were built. During the Hussite wars, the Minorite monastery was also badly damaged. On May 19, 1420, the troops of Zizka, one of the leaders of the Hussites, invaded the city and burned the monastery. However, the Minorite monastery was quickly restored. In 1451 and 1473, state meetings were held in the monastery with the participation of the Czech Queen Johana, at which important political issues were resolved in connection with the difficult socio-political situation that had developed in the country as a result of a long civil war. In subsequent years, the monastery gradually began to fall into decay and many of its abandoned buildings gradually began to collapse and eventually disappeared almost completely. The final point in the final destruction of the Minorite monastery was put by the Swedes, who finally destroyed it in 1648. After that, the monastery was never restored, and the remaining fragments of the ruins of the arches of the monastery church became the only reminder of the massive religious building that once existed here. Today, these ruins are protected and included in the register of cultural monuments of the Czech Republic.
