Famous for its libraries, Strahov houses a collection of frescoes, especially on its ceilings. Closed after the Communists took power, it reopened in 1989. Reconstructed during the 1990s, its Baroque appearance dates from the second half of the 17th century. The monastery was founded in 1140 by the Premonstratensian Order and escaped the dissolution of monasteries in 1783 by Joseph I by virtue of having one of the best libraries in the Czech lands. The monastery lies in a quiet courtyard, which is worth the short, pleasant walk.
