In a valley of the Uhlavka river, not far from the town of Stribro, there stands a former Benedictine monastery, founded by duke Vladislav I at the beginning of the 12
th century. The area's present appearance originates from the first third of the 18
th century. This area is dominated by the abbey church, refashioned according to a
design by Jan B. Santini in Baroque Gothic style. Prominent artists of that period, for instance, the Asam brothers, K. Legat, and the sculptor's workshop of M. B. Braun took part in decorating and furnishing the interior. An old convent is situated at the southern side of the church, and standing eastward of the former one is an old prelature and southwards a structure of the new convent, the design of which is ascribed to Kilian I. Dientzenhofer. The library from the 19
th century plus the collection of statues from Valec, sculptured by masters from the group of M. B. Braun, are also accessible among the exhibits.
