The idea came to life in 1143, when Premonstratensians from Steinfeld in the Rhineland settled at Strahov. They first built a wooden monastery, then a Romanesque basilica, which was later replaced by stone buildings. The abbey endured fires and plundering during the Hussite Wars, and declined until the late 16th century, when Abbot Jan Lohelius revived it through reconstruction and the addition of new facilities. His successors continued his work, and in 1627, the relics of St. Norbert, founder of the order, were brought to Strahov. Despite damage during the Thirty Years' War and later conflicts, the monastery was rebuilt in the Baroque style, including the famous Theological Hall (1679) and Philosophical Hall (18th century). Closed under the Communist regime in the 1950s, Strahov Abbey was returned to the Premonstratensians after the fall of Communism in 1989. Since then, extensive restoration has been underway, preserving it as one of Prague's most remarkable monastic complexes. https://maps.app.goo.gl/FRi3jpEt6u8wy...
