Vyšší Brod Monastery is a monastery located in Vyšší Brod , the seat of the Cistercian Abbey of Our Lady in Vyšší Brod . It is the only functioning male Cistercian monastery in the Czech Republic and one of the most important cultural monuments of southern Bohemia , which is protected as a national cultural monument of the Czech Republic. Conventual Prior Justin Berka is the head of the monastery .
The monastery is an important center of Czech traditional Catholicism , it allows the faithful to participate in Trident Mass every day and cooperates with various traditionally Catholic institutions and associations, especially with the Priestly Brotherhood of St. Peter and the Institute of Christ the King .
History
The monastery was founded in 1259 by Vok I. of Rožmberk , after previous negotiations with the Cistercian General Chapter in Citeaux . The foundation was confirmed by the bishop of Prague on June 1 of the same year, this day, when the monastery church was consecrated, is considered the date of the foundation of the monastery. At the same time (or shortly after), the founder donated the surrounding land to the new monastery, including the settlement of Vyšší Brod. The monks from Wilhering's mother monastery probably did not participate in the foundation itself and arrived later in the year.
The Rosenbergs were the most important branch of the Vítkov family , and it is indisputable that from the beginning the monastery was regarded as an ancestral necropolis . With the burial of Vok I of Rožmberk in 1262, a series of ten generations of burials began here. The last person buried in the Rožmberk crypt of the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was the late Petr Vok from Rožmberk in 1611 in Třebon , whose coffin is still in a very well-preserved state.
To the southwest of the settlement, an impressive Gothic building of a fortified monastery with the monastery church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary gradually grew . As the monastery was not a royal foundation, its role was locally limited in the first centuries.
The first period of the monastery's decline came in the 15th century, when the monastery became bankrupt as a result of the Hussite Wars .
At the end of the 18th century, the monastery narrowly escaped abolition during the reforms of Joseph II. , who systematically liquidated the contemplative and monastic orders (the monastery was heavily in debt at the time and the emperor would have had to repay these debts himself in the event of its abolition), but he paid for it by imposing tasks on him and his monks that conflicted with the principles of monastic life (teaching religion and theology and managing parishes), which he completely got rid of only in the 21st century.
During the 19th century, the monastery flourished and stood at the head of one of the main currents of revival and renewal of the Cistercian order. Its abbots were repeatedly elected by the vicars-general of the Cistercian congregation in the Austrian Habsburg lands, and in 1890 the Vyšebrod abbot Leopold Wackarž was also elected abbot-general of the Cistercian order (under his reign, a competing reform current split off, which founded the independent Order of Cistercians of Strict Observance ).
The second period of decline began in the 1940s, when the monks were expelled by the Nazis , who then stored stolen works of art in the monastery. A number of monks were imprisoned at this time, including Abbot Tecelín Jaksch and Father Engelbert Blöchl , who died in the Dachau concentration camp .
After the Second World War , the monks returned, but not for long, because first the monks of German nationality were expelled to Germany , and then in the early 1950s the monastery was raided by members of the StB and SNB , who seized the monastery without any legal basis and took the monks to internment camps (see Action K ). The German part of the monastery staff continued their monastic life in exile in Germany, and one of them - Father Matthäus Quatember - was the Abbot General of the Cistercian Order in 1950-1953.
In the following years, the monastery was abandoned. But the plans of the local JZD , which wanted to turn it into a warehouse for agricultural machinery, failed to be implemented, and a museum was created from its most valuable parts, however, no investment was made in the building and a large part of the movable property was stolen. Some monks got beyond the borders and in the years 1959-1990 there was a formal union of Vyšší Brod with the monastery in Styrian Rein in order to preserve some kind of continuity .
In 1990, the first two monks returned to the monastery - Vojtěch Ivo Kvapil , later prior-administrator, and Xaver Švanda . Gradually, it was possible to restore community life and repair the restored part of the monastery.
Since 2007, the prior of the monastery has been Prior Justin Berka , who also holds some of the powers of the abbot due to the absence of a holder of this position at the site of the local monastery (the monastery currently does not have enough monks to be elected). In 2011 , the Vyšebrod community of monks decided to return to the Tridentine liturgy . After that, until the Roman parish was taken over by the FSSP in 2019 , the Vyšebrod Monastery was the only place in the České Budějovice diocese where it was possible to attend the Tridentine Mass daily . As of January 1, 2015, the monastery chapter counted three monks with permanent vows (including the ninety-eight-year-old brother Alois Zálešák, who was the oldest living Cistercian and died on November 4 , 2015 ), and one more brother with early vows lived in the monastery. After returning to the traditional liturgy, the original Cistercian choral prayer and other traditional customs, the community began to expand. In August 2022, another brother took eternal vows, and therefore four monks with eternal vows and several novices and monks with temporary vows now live here. In addition to monastic formation, some members also study to prepare for the sacrament of priesthood.
Monastery grounds
During the season (April–September) the monastery is open to the public, visitors are guided by guides. In the off-season, a visit must be arranged in advance.
From the end of the 13th century until today, the so-called Záviš Cross , which was donated to the Cistercians by Záviš of Falkenštejn, has been preserved in the monastery . It is a reliquary with a piece of wood from the cross of Christ, considered one of the rarest medieval goldsmith's monuments in the Czech Republic.
Monastery Church
Monastery Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (completed in the 14th century) with four chapels, one main altar and eight minor ones. In 2011–2012, the interior underwent a major renovation and the church was therefore closed. It was reopened on December 15, 2012. From the nave, you can climb into a small church tower to the so-called Rosenberg Oratory, where the Záviš cross is displayed during the tourist season .
One of the peculiarities of the monastery church is that it has four versions of the altarpiece . Originally, it was possible to change the images with a complex system of windings and pulleys by turning a handle without major operations directly during the services , which made it possible to effectively change the altar image on the Easter Triduum and the Nativity, fitting into the content of the services . In modern times, however, this has been abandoned, as historically valuable images were quickly worn out by rewinding. Therefore, a more complex, but gentler method of exchange between services was adopted.
Under the chancel of the monastery church is the main tomb of the Rožmberk family . Research carried out in modern times with the help of a probe has disproved the legend that the Rosenberg rulers are buried there sitting on golden thrones - in fact they are buried in coffins.
One of the most valuable romantic organs in Bohemia , made in 1892 by Leopold Breinbauer from Ottensheim , is located in the church's choir . (Its predecessor was the 1680 organ by Hans Heinrich Mundt .) It has the original mechanical tract, two manuals , 41 registers and 2,052 pipes. In addition, the temple has another small organ hidden in the wall of the monastic choir, which is mainly used to accompany the monastic prayers.
Other chapels
Postal Museum and Chapel of St. Anne
Next to the church, the chapel of St. Anne , whose reconstruction was completed in 2012 and which was a pilgrimage destination in the past, and the so-called Winter Chapel, which is entered either from the cloisters or from the church through the chancel and is accessible to the public only in winter during services.

Tourism
The following valuable spaces next to the monastery church are accessible to the public during tours: side and picture gallery, library corridor and two book rooms: philosophical and theological. Although it was possible to trace and recover only part of the movable property in the restitutions, there are some remarkable collections - a collection of paintings by Czech painters in the picture gallery, a collection of liturgical objects from the 17th and 18th centuries, an extensive collection of Bibles in 40 languages, an extensive collection of specialist theological and philosophical literature. In total, the libraries contain over 70,000 volumes, including 200 manuscripts on parchment and 400 incunabula .

The normal breakdown of muscle tissue produces creatinine, a waste product. It is eliminated from the body through urine and is filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. Blood levels of creatinine can be used to assess kidney function. The kidneys remove creatinine from the blood at a relatively constant rate when they are functioning properly. As a result, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a measure of kidney function, can be estimated using the blood level of creatinine. Kidney disease symptoms show elevated levels of creatinine in the blood. or dysfunction. Take a proper cure for high creatinine as it affects kidney health.
High creatinine levels in the blood are an indicator of kidney dysfunction and many other health issues. Age, gender, muscle mass, and certain medications can all have an impact on creatinine levels. It is essential to keep in mind that a single measurement of the creatinine level might not provide an adequate evaluation of the kidney's function. To fully assess kidney health, additional kidney function tests may be required, such as imaging studies and urine tests. Various kidney diseases such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury(AKI), glomerulonephritis, and other kidney disorders lead to impaired kidney function and subsequently elevated creatinine levels.
Causes of high creatinine include:
1. Kidney disease: Conditions such as CKD, Acute kidney disease, glomerulonephritis, and other kidney disorders can impair the kidney’s ability to filter waste products, resulting in increased creatinine levels.
2. Dehydration: Insufficient fluid intake or dehydration can cause a temporary rise in creatinine levels.
3. Certain medications: Various medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or certain antibiotics, can affect kidney function and cause elevated creatinine levels.
4. Urinary tract obstruction: Blockages in the urinary tract, such as kidney stones or an enlarged prostate gland, can hinder the normal flow of urine and lead to elevated creatinine levels.
5. Muscle injury or excessive exercise: Intense physical activity or muscle injury can result in higher creatinine levels due to increased breakdown of muscle tissue.
Some possible side effects of high creatinine levels and impaired kidney function include:
1. Fatigue: High creatinine levels can cause fatigue and a general feeling of weakness due to the buildup of waste products in the body.
2. Fluid retention and swelling: Impaired kidney function can lead to fluid retention and swelling, particularly in the legs, ankles, and face.
3. Changes in urine output: Decreased urine output or changes in urine color and appearance may occur with kidney dysfunction.
4. Shortness of breath: Fluid buildup in the lungs, known as pulmonary edema, can cause difficulty breathing and shortness of breath.
5. High blood pressure: Impaired kidney function can lead to increased blood pressure, as the kidneys play a vital role in regulating blood pressure.
6. Electrolyte imbalances: Kidney dysfunction can disrupt the balance of electrolytes in the body, leading to abnormalities such as high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) or low calcium levels (hypocalcemia).
7. Nausea and vomiting: Waste buildup in the bloodstream can cause gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
8. Itching and skin rashes: Impaired kidney function can result in the accumulation of waste products in the blood, which can cause itching and skin rashes.
9. Bone and joint problems: Chronic kidney disease can lead to bone and joint disorders, including osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
10. Anemia: The kidneys play a role in producing a hormone called erythropoietin, which stimulates the production of red blood cells. Impaired kidney function can result in decreased production of erythropoietin, leading to anemia.
