Franciscan Monastery Garden in Cheb

The monastery garden is part of the Eger Franciscan monastery. In 2002, after a major renovation, it was opened to the public. The garden on the monastery grounds originally served as a fruit and vegetable garden. Adjacent to it was the farm with a brewery and farm buildings. At the end of the 1930s, the garden was converted into an ornamental garden in connection with the opening of a folklore museum in the rear part of the convent building. It is open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. from April to August and from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. from September to October. The monastery garden is closed from November to March.

Beautifully landscaped monastery garden of the Franciscan monastery. Noteworthy is also the parts of the preserved monastery walls with the battlements.

After the fall of the Iron Curtain, there was no longer any real use for the communist monuments. They have therefore found a place to stay in a corner of the monastery garden.
