Depicted Gothic palace-type building in the Milevsko Premonstratensian Convent complex, built in the 14th century, was also the seat of the Latin School.

We do not know the original use of the Gothic building from the 14th century. Perhaps it served as a hospice or as a farm building. According to some historians, the building later served as a convent Latin school (hence the name of the building). The building underwent a Baroque adaptation to the bailiff's office and apartment in the 17th century. After a recent reconstruction, an exposition of the Baroque Library is prepared for visitors to the convent in the building. There is also a Convent hall for cultural and educational events and the Parish Charity Milevsko has found its headquarters here.

Date Built: 14th century
