Pauline Monastery and Church of Blessed Juliana Collalto

The Pauline monastery for the monks of the Order of St. Francis of Paula was founded by the new owner of the estate, Rombald XIII. The monastery was built after his death in 1639 - 1644. The inner wing originally opened by arcades into the paradise courtyard, but later the arcades were replaced by windows. The builders were probably G. B. Pieroni and G. Petruzzi. After the abolition in 1784 during the reign of Joseph II, the building served the purposes of the castle estate. After 1800, a wing was added to it for the cotton manufactory, which, however, closed in 1818. The monastery building was then gradually adapted into apartments, which are still there today.

Paulánský klášter je přístupný pouze zvenku.

The Church of Blessed Juliana was built at the end of the 16th century. It was built in the 16th century by Hynk Brtnicki of Wallenstein and his wife as an evangelical house of prayer of St. Matthew with an underground family tomb. In the 17th century, the Collalts had the church rebuilt according to the design of the prominent Viennese architect G. B. Pieroni; side chapels and a tower were added. Later it was dissolved together with the monastery, restored in 1831 and dedicated to Blessed Juliana of the Collalto family.

The church and tower are accessible during events, services and by appointment at the parish office.
