Premonstratensians in Strahov

The Strahov Monastery is one of the oldest existing monasteries of the Premonstratensian Order in the world. 

A little bit

from the history of the monastery winery

The Premonstratensians have been growing vines on their land in Strahov and Petřín since the founding of the monastery in 1143, initially mainly for religious use. Later, they planted other vineyards in the surroundings of Prague. A number of manuals dating back to the 16th century, preserved in the library of Strahov Monastery, testify to the Premonstratensians' constant care and interest in the cultivation of vines. The Premonstratensians continue to cultivate wine only for their religious purposes. A small vineyard with Hibernal grapes is located in the monastery's utility garden just adjacent to our restaurant.

Strahov Monastery recommends

You can combine a visit to the restaurant with a visit to the famous Strahov Library or Strahov Picture Gallery, which are located just a few steps from the restaurant, or refresh yourself with a walk to the Petřín hill with a lookout tower. If you are planning to stay in Prague longer,we also recommend you take advantage of our boutique hotel Questenbergwhich you will find in close proximity to the gardens of Strahov Monastery. Opposite the monastery's ticket office is the monastery shop, where you will be delighted with a range of souvenirs that you can delight not only yourself, but also your loved ones.

Many famous personalities, statesmen and artists have dined in our restaurant. Our current visitors appreciate this place for its excellent cuisine and pleasant, quiet atmosphere.

Strahov
monastery
of the Premonstratensians

The Strahov Monastery is an active monastery which, in addition to its spiritual activities, also manages a renowned library and gallery. The Strahov Library of the Royal Canony of the Premonstratensians at Strahov is located just a few steps from our restaurant, right in the courtyard of Strahov Monastery, next to the Church of the Assumption. The historical part of the library contains over 400,000 volumes in its collection. The Strahov Library is one of the most visited cultural monuments in the Czech Republic.

The oldest part of today's library, the so-called Theological Hall, was built between 1 671 and 1 674 under the design and direction of Giovanni Domenico Orsi. The hall houses mainly theological literature. The main vaulted hall of the historic library, called the Philosophical Hall, extends over two floors of the building. The ceiling fresco depicting the spiritual development of mankind was painted in 1 794 by František Antonín Maulbertsch and his pupil Martin Michl. The library and gallery can be visited as a regular visitor from 9:00 - 12:00 and 13:00 - 16:45. A guided visit to the library is also recommended. This special tour can be booked by emailing erika@strahovskyklaster.cz.
