Beautiful place, breathtaking baroque building. This monastery has one of the most beautiful and oldest libraries in Europe, but we were especially interested in the chapel, which is decorated in the Baroque style. It freezes from this place. And important information: the Broumov monastery owns one of the three copies of the Turin Canvas, which was created according to the original model. I definitely recommend visiting this place.

Baroque gem, one of the most ornate churches that underwent the reconstruction of the father and son of the Dientzenhofer. Accessible during a tour of the Broumov Monastery and during mass or various concerts. Over one of the altars, a copy of the Turin Canvas was found by chance at the time in the 1990s, and is now on display in the monastery's refectory and can be viewed during a tour. It is definitely worth a visit.

Baroque churches in the Broumova region at the Polish border are one of the unique in Europe. The churches were built in the area belonging to the abbey according to the plans of famous architects Krzysztof Dientzenhofer and his son Kilian Ignacy. Their construction was relatively fast, and took place in 1709-1743. The complex consists of a monastery in Broumov and churches in 9 surrounding towns: Martínkovice, Vernéřovice, Ruprechtice, Otovice, Heřmánkovice, Bezděkov, Vižňov, Šonov, and Božanov. Circular cycle route on the trail of the Broumov churches. The route in the southern part of the region, begins in the center of Broumov, leads to four of them. The trail leads from Broumov along side roads, namely through Šonov, Otovice and Božanov to Martínkovice and back to Broumov.
