For storytellers
Why Strahov Monastery Library matters
Look through the doorway of the Philosophical Hall and you will gasp: floor-to-ceiling carved shelves, a painted ceiling, and a few thousand old volumes. Visitors usually view from the threshold to protect the rooms. Combine it with the monastery brewery and a stroll along the hillside.
Talking points
- The library halls date from the baroque era.
- Visitors view the halls from the doorway, not inside.
- A brewery on site serves its own beer.
