Gardens of the St. Agnes Convent
The extraordinarily valuable medieval complex of the Convent of St. Agnes has been a hidden place away from the eyes of ordinary city dwellers since its establishment in the 13th century. Named after its founder, Agnes of Bohemia, the convent preserved spirituality for centuries behind its walls. It guarded royal relics as well as the secrets of monastic life. A breakthrough occurred in the 1960s when the entire complex was entrusted to the National Gallery in Prague. The NGP gradually began to open the intricate area filled with hidden gardens, dark corners, and small courtyards, except for the gardens, which suffered significant damage during the floods of 2002 and had to wait until 2016 for their reopening.
