The entrance of the Strahov Monastery - Prague, Czech Republic - Picture Perfect Postcards on Waymarking.com

As seen from the end of Pohorelec and from the beginning of what is today Dlabacov Street. This Premonstratensian Monastery was founded in 1140 by prince Vladislav II and from its very beginning it was famous for its extensive library. On the right we can see a part of the ramparts and the Baroque entrance gate with the statue of St Norbert. In the middle is the votive Church of St Rochus built in the years 1603-1612 at the expense of emperor Rudolf II as an expression of gratitude for overcoming the plague epidemic. Once serving as the Strahov parish church, it now houses the exhibition hall Musaion. In front of it we can see the double building No. 137 in whose small annex it is today possible to buy refreshments, tobacco goods, newspapers and postcards. Further, in the north-eastern direction, the row of buildings continues as far as the southern end of Pohorelec Square. On the left is the southern wing of the territorial army barracks.
