Arcades of Brezanova Street - Trebon, Czech Republic - Photos Then and Now on Waymarking.com

The spa town Trebon is an important tourist, recreational, cultural and administrative centre in South Bohemia. The centre of the town is protected for its historical value.
Trebon lies on the Zlatá Stoka (Golden Canal) in the Trebonská Pánev (Trebon Basin) in the Protected Landscape Area Trebonsko about 20 km east of the town Ceské Budejovice, 434 m a.s.l.

The history of the town dates back to the middle of the 12th century, when the settlement or the courtyard was founded on a trade route in this marshy country. Its Czech name is first mentioned in 1262. At that time the village was under the ownership of the Vítkovec family. Since the 13th century Trebon has been known as a town.

The monastery was founded in 1367, when the Rožmberks asked the Prague archbishopric for permission to convert the Trebon rectory into the monastery of the canons of St. Augustine. During the next twenty years, the Gothic monastery church of St. Jilja was built on the site of the old parish church. With this building, the Rožmberks wanted Trebon to become the centre of Czech education and culture in southern Bohemia, which they succeeded in their time. When the monasteries were abolished en masse during the reign of Joseph II, the canons of Trebon hoped to escape the abolition, because the Emperor confirmed the monastic privileges in 1784. However, on 16 November 1785 a commission came to Trebon and read the abolition decree. In the following days an inventory of the monastery's property was taken and on 16 April 1786 the canons had to leave the monastery.
