Guided Easter Tours at the Zlatá Koruna Monastery

Guided tours of one of the most precious Gothic architectural complexes in Central Europe

Sacral tour with the Church

The quided tour starts in the abbot's private chapel, where visitors can acquaint themselves with a Gothic painting of the Madonna of the Golden Crown. It continues through the small convent building, which features the tombstones of the abbots, to the unique two-storey Chapel of the Guardian Angels, the garden and the cloister. The tour concludes in the largest church in South Bohemia – the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. 

The tour route is not wheelchair accessible. In the first part of the tour, visitors climb up to the upper floor and back down via Baroque staircases.

Monastery with a Baroque pharmacy

The guided tour focuses on monastic life in the 18th century. It begins on the ground floor of the large convent, which is the principal monastery building. Visitors are taken around the library, the monks' cell, the study, the latrines, the heating room, the dining room and the cloister, which offers a view of the glorious courtyard. The library corridor features an exhibition that includes a number of rare educational paintings from a cycle produced by the so-called Golden Crown School, which was founded by the last abbot for the children of local serfs. The highlight of the tour is the unique Baroque pharmacy in the former monastery kitchen.

The tour route leads through the ground floor of the monastery, but is not completely wheelchair accessible.
