    The Teplá Monastery is one of the twelve most important monastery complexes in Bohemia. According to legend, it was founded by a Bohemian count in 1183 because it enabled him to buy his freedom from participating in a crusade.



    First plundered by the Hussites, evangelized during the Reformation, attacked several times during the 30-year war, robbed and finally burned down, it was then poorly prepared and re-catholicized again. During World War II it served as a military hospital and from 1950 for 30 years as a barracks for the Czechoslovak army. It has been a national cultural monument since 2008.



    Today, part of the monastery is used again by the Premonstratensians.

    The core of the abbey is the monastery church of the Annunciation, a late Romanesque hall church. An important part of the monastery is the unique, second largest historical library in the Czech Republic with 100,000 volumes. The church, main complex and monastery hostel are already shining in new splendour. Numerous outbuildings are still waiting to be renovated.
