Broumov monastery
The former medieval fortress was rebuilt by the Benedictine monks in the 13th century, when the land ownership was confirmed to them by King Ottokar II. The monastery gradually became a centre of cultural and religious life of the Broumov region and after a conflagration in the 17th century it was rebuilt in the baroque style by Christoph and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofers. After a sad period in the second half of the 20th century, when the monastery served as an internment camp for monks and nuns, the monastery has, since 2007, once again become the centre of local cultural life; while in 2014 a part of the monastery and the monastic garden underwent extensive reconstruction work.
