Borovany

BOROVANY MONASTERY

This Augustinian monastery, founded in 1455 by Petr of Linda, was abolished under the Rožmberks and was restored in 1663 by Emperor Ferdinand III. In the middle of the 18th century the Scapular Chapel and the representative prelature were added. In 1785, the monastery was definitively abolished by Emperor Joseph II. The property of the prelature was owned by the Schwarzenbergs until 1939. Today,
the monastery serves as the cultural center of the town.

Don’t miss the Six Senses Tour with its unique set of experiences (Scapular Chapel, Prelature, Monastery Museum, Lapidary of Baroque Statues) and the new interactive exhibition “Train from Borovany, There and Back”.
