A small Baroque complex built around pilgrimage Church of Our Lady Victorious at Bílá Hora (Kostel Panny Marie Vítezné na Bílé Hore), nowadays known as Venio Abbey, is a seat of community of Benedictine nun's.
A pilgrimage church at the White Mountain in Prague was originally a chapel, built to the honour of those, who died at the Battle of White Mountain in 1620. A church was built there later (1704-1729), with several chapels and some valuable works of art - for example Baroque frescoes of painters Václav Vavrinec Reiner, Jan Adam Schöpf and Kosmas Damian Asam. The church is central structure of a small monastic complex, which was long years (from 1827) administered by nearby Benedictine Archabbey in Brevnov. The complex became a seat of nun's Benedictine Abbey Venio in 2007.
