Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, Premonstratensian Monastery in Strahov, Prague

The monasteries in our territory were founded from the 10th century. This is until the 12th century.
The monasteries had many functions. The unintended effect was that they showed the most modern foreign building styles of their time. The church was imitated by the nobility, then the bourgeoisie and finally the folk. But there was a long delay. Baroque began in Prague at the beginning of the 17th century. But the baroque came to the countryside in the 19th century.
