Hradisko Monastery
Klášterní Hradisko
A vast Baroque monastery known as the 'Moravian Escorial,' now used as a military hospital, open only through guided tours.
Founded in 1078, the monastery was extensively rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 18th century. Its palace-like façades and courtyards are grand, earning it the nickname 'Moravian Escorial,' and its library and chapel are richly painted. It currently serves as a military hospital and is open for guided tours only at certain times, such as summer weekends. Reservations must be made in advance at the tourist center. It is located about 1 km north of the old town.
