Zdar nad Sazavou Chateau and Museum

About

Zdar nad Sazavou monastery was founded in 1252, and has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a collection of simple log structures. Over the centuries, it had to be defended on few occasions, though not always successfully. Today, the monastery's combination of Gothic and Baroque architecture is a gorgeous representation of its rich history. Visitors can enjoy a tour explaining the rich background behind these buildings, while admire both the exteriors and interiors of the monastery. Nearby, the incomparable Museum of the New Generation uses cutting-edge interactive expositions to transport visitors into medieval and renaissance eras and experience the past times in new and different ways.
