The Abbey of Nová Ríše in Moravia was founded by the military leader Markvard of Hrádek and his wife Vojslava as a monastery of sisters subordinate to the Abbey of Zábrdovice (nowadays one of Brno quarters) in 1211. The church was dedicated originally to Our Lady. The provosts of Nová Ríše were taken from among the priests of the founding abbey. Thanks to corporate endeavor of all those spiritual people the monastery soon became the light of faith spreading to the surroundings and in spite of ill fortune it has continued their mission with the help of God till today.
